Mid engine anything. I believe the Pontiac Fiero was the only production mid engine American car ever made. They should have ironed out the bugs the Fiero had and kept producing it. I think it could have been a fine car.
I had an ‘84 Fiero. Small, but a blast to drive - great handling. Super clutch - took a LOT to press that sucker in. Stereo speakers in the headrest and removable sunroof.
