The History of Geo
The Geo was a brand of small cars and SUVs marketed
by General Motors and sold through Chevrolet
dealerships throughout North America beginning in
1989 in the United States, and 1992 in Canada.
Originally formed by GM to compete with the growing
small import market of the late 1980s, the line
continued through the 1997 model year, after which
the remaining models joined the Chevrolet lineup.
Geo was considered a youth brand, much like Scion is
today. Recent years have seen fading consumer
interest in the economy compact market, and the last
vehicle of the former Geo line, the Tracker, was
discontinued in 2004.
Geo models were manufactured by GM in joint-ventures
with Japanese import manufacturers. The Prizm was
produced at the GM/Toyota joint-venture NUMMI
assembly plant in Fremont, California. The Metro and
Tracker were produced at the GM/Suzuki joint-venture
CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario. The
Spectrum and Storm were the exception and they were
entirely manufactured by Isuzu in Japan.
The Metro was a subcompact car based on the Suzuki
Swift available as either a three or five-door
hatchback, four-door sedan, or less commonly as a
convertible. The Metro’s primary powerplant was a
1.0 L 3-cylinder engine. There was also a larger
4-cylinder engine available. The Metro was the most
fuel efficient production vehicle ever produced by
GM, and remained so for 12 of the 13 years it was in
production. The Metro was produced from 1989 through
2001.
From 1990 through 2002, the Prizm was a compact
four-door sedan based on the Toyota Corolla. While
the Prizm consistently won awards from the auto
industry like the Consumer’s Digest Best Buy award,
it was always outsold by the Corolla, likely due to
the perceived higher value of the Toyota brand.
Additionally, the Prizm had an awkward position in
Chevrolet’s lineup, as it had to compete with the
Cavalier. Being in the same class as Cavalier,
Chevrolet took the approch of marketing the Cavalier
as a "premium entry level sedan" while marketing the
Prizm as an "entry level compact sedan." That made
the Prizm became a redundancy in Chevrolet’s lineup,
which led to its demise.
The Spectrum was a short-lived compact one step up
from the Metro, based on the Isuzu Gemini, also sold
as the Isuzu I-Mark in North America. The Spectrum
was previously sold as a Chevrolet model, and was
added to the Geo lineup to offer potential buyers an
option other than the Metro until the Prizm could be
introduced the following year.
The Storm was a sporty car based on the Isuzu
Impulse, available as either a two-door fastback or
as a station wagon, which Geo oddly marketed as a
hatchback. The Storm entered Geo’s lineup in 1990,
and made a quick departure in 1993 despite strong
sales. This was due in part to Isuzu discontinuing
their car lines, and refocusing on trucks and SUVs.
The Tracker was a light SUV, based on the Suzuki
Sidekick, which was a larger cousin to the highly
criticized Suzuki Samurai. The Tracker was a part of
the original Geo lineup from 1989, and was the
longest running model, continuing under the
Chevrolet brand through 2004. The Tracker was
available in either a convertible or hardtop
configuration, with either two or four seats. The
buyer had the option of either rear-wheel drive or
4-wheel drive. Geo touted the Tracker as a versatile
vehicle, being either an around-town runabout, or a
rugged off-road vehicle. However, the Tracker’s high
center of gravity coupled with its tall profile made
it more prone to rollover than larger SUVs.
