I have always wondered why the Geo brand was discontinued I have owned everyone of them except for the Storm and they have all been very reliable and I just cant figure out why they would stop selling such good little cars when GM's own products are terrible. I know all of the Geo's are rebadged Toyota,Suzuki,and Isuzu products but you would think they would want to keep good vehicles around. I went and looked at the sales from the remaining Geo cars in 1998 when they were absorbed into the Chevrolet brand and the sales all dropped once the Geo nameplate was discontinued. Please serious answers only I dont want to hear answers like they were crap etc etc etc...Thanks for the information!
