Geo Metro makes a Comeback
http://www.drivingsports.com/ blog/ 2008/ 05/ geo-metro-makes.html
It's great to see that a minority of buyers are, in fact, catching on to the fact that you don't need a Prius to get good MPG. (Like I discussed in this blog entry.) And the good ol' Geo Metro (aka Suzuki Swift) is a classic of economy and durability. But paying $7300 for one? That's just stupid. From CNN.com The 1996 Metro's average of 40 miles per gallon nears that of the hybrid 2008 Toyota Prius -- priced at $21,000 for the cheapest model -- and bests most current cars by a long shot, according to government ratings. Older models of the Geo Metro, specifically cars from 1991 and the XFi edition, have the same average as the hybrid.
