Actually it isn't.  It was made at the time by Canadian American
Motors, a join venture between Suzuki and GM in Canada.  The original
design is a Suzuki, but there are a number of minor differences having
to do with US reg's.  The Suzuki Sprint was more for the Asian market
I believe.  Nowdays it's all GM.

The reason for using the Geo was because it's *not* an import, by the
standards that government buyers have to follow.
