Firefly Spotter's Guide?

I was up in the back storage yard of one of my favorite auctions, and I found a 1992 Firefly that got towed in from their front parking lot 3 years ago and hasn't been touched since. It is a 2 door, it has a 3 cylinder and a 5 speed. It also has some funky stripes on the side and a little fly character with "SuperFly" under it. Probably added by a previous owner, but for all I know maybe it was some dealer added decal package as they look as old as the rest of the car. Was there ever a Firefly Xfi, or was it only a Metro thing? If there was a Firefly Xfi, how could I tell just by looking at the car / drivetrain? I think the hatch has been repainted as there are no markings on it at all. Anyone??

I'm not sure about the Firefly, but a standard Metro VIN will start with something like 2C1MR, versus 2C1MS for an XFi.
