yes i would have to agree

but i do believe we are leaving out the metro's cousin - the storm

im not really sure of the characteristics of this car nor the class it falls under - but im thinking its along the lines of super-luxery - much like the new bugatti veyron

Maybe, the w16's weight can't compare to the storm's lightweight application.

as usual the ricer brings up the issue of gas milage related to performance - listen DarkLight
the Geo brand is all about performance they dont have a care in the world for all of this economy religion stuff - if they happen to make a car that also has nicy fuel consumption so be it

but they will never sacrifice performance and their tradition as one of the great car manufactures for the sake of a few tree huggers

of course not. its performance all the way. The first geo did not pass the smog regulation, and they detuned it a little
