Thumbs up Re: Geo Metro making a comeback?

They are all over the place here in the Portland, OR area.
People must have been keeping them in their garages or something.
I bought mine in 1995 new. It has 3 cyls, gets 61 MPG and is a
great cheap car to run. I wish they make them again. It has a 5
star safety rating in its class and year and
has front airbags. What makes this little gem even extra safe is
its stability on corners and defensive maneuvers when lumber
truck drivers don't seem to see you.

Imagine if Chevy just made them again for $10K new. They'd sell like ice in the desert.

Excerpt from linked Automotive News article......

On June 2, Automotive News reported that GM would build a new compact car to replace the Chevrolet Cobalt at its plant in Lordstown, Ohio. The next day, GM CEO Rick Wagoner confirmed that Chevrolet would get a new compact.
The Cruze will be built on GM's Delta compact car architecture. It will use a new 1.4-liter global engine that GM developed and recently announced in Europe. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine will be used in several GM vehicles worldwide.
GM says the engine will be capable of developing 120 to 140 hp. Sources say mileage could exceed 40 mpg.
Production of the Cruze is slated to start in the middle of 2010 as a 2011 model.
