Actually, it's Chevy -- but regardless...  That's the whole
reason GM formed Geo in the first place.  They disbanded Geo and
made all of the models Chevy models since it wasn't worth having two
different brands for cars that aren't really that profitable in the first
place.  Make no mistake, they're not GM cars -- the Metro is a
Suzuki Swift.  The Tracker is a Suzuki Vitara.  And, of course,
the Prizm is a Toyota Corolla.  Fancy marketing, but that's all it
is.

But since Geo was a brand of General Motors, they've always had that
benefit... it was for other reasons that they killed Geo.
