Before it was called a Metro it was called a Sprint. I drove a 3-cylinder Sprint turbo that was really fast. It had that pulling to the side torque at acceleration. I think it was rated at 100 hp which which a lot in those days especially such a small car.

Was that around the same time they were selling that funky looking 2 seater convertible rig? I saw one the other day (in really bad shape, but running still).
 
I wonder if it had the hi-performance engine in it....

aveo on gravel country roads by jhogan1

I'm thinking of getting a chevy aveo but am concerned about how well it will stand up to our country gravel roads. Being a rural community, most of our population live on county roads and drive at 30mph on them. Like everyone else, we need a small economical vehicle and the aveo seems to fit the profile, but nobody has said anything about driving on less than perfect roads and how these type of conditions would affect the car overall. Our larger toyota is still tight after 9 years. I know I can't expect that on a small compact car, but Scion people are trying to tell me that anything less that a Scion (toyota company?) won't last. Any comments?

Consider who told you that. When I was a car salesman we told all kinds of tales because that is part of the sales game. The Scians attracted younger buyers to Toyota but they actually are not anything more than an average car. They are kind of high priced, styling is not one of their strong points, mileage is kind of low, and interior finish puts them toward the back of the class.

That Sprint from Suzuki was the start of their car sharing with Japanese automakers. After the Sprint they formed the GEO division which consisted of Isuzu's, Suzuki's, and Toyota's. The Sprint became the Metro but I don't recall a Sprint convertible but I wouldn't be surprised. I would doubt it had a turbo engine in it because generally convertibles don't have high performance engines.
 
The two Isuzu models were the GEO Storm which I think was an Isuzu Impulse, and a small four door sedan which I don't recall the name. From Toyota they just had the Corolla based Nova that was eventually called the Prism.
 
Back in the 1970's Chevy got their first mini truck from Isuzu called the Chevy Luv.
