What would a 914 bet, without porsche? Options

[Hawktel]

If Chevy had made the 914's, would they still get the same attention they do? Is the 914 dependent upon the porsche cachet? What if it was a Honda product? Would people care?

will fiero's be popular in 10-20 years? no, they are still crap... the fiero is GM's weak ass imitation of the 914...

if honda or any japanese co. it would not have the same following, because the japanese cars in the 70s were just econo boxes and not highly sought now... (possible exceptions: 240Z and the cosmo/early RXs) but I suppose if Toyota would have made the MR2 10-15 years earlier, yes, people would want them, just not the SAME people that want the 914 now...

look at how sought after the Ghias are... they are more expensive than a 914!! it's not just the PORSCHE name plate that makes 914s cool... it's the 914... and if someone solid... )BMW,MB, alfa, MG, etc...) and reputable for sports cars (notice I didn't say muscle cars) at the time would have built the same thing... it would have a similar following...
