1991-1992 Geo Storm Wagonback

A rebadged Isuzu Impulse featuring the horribly weak 1.6 with just 95 hp, the Storm Wagonback weighed only about 2400 pounds. The MSRP was a surprisingly high $11.5K, which made it a no deal for many buyers looking for an inexpensive economy car with a sporty flair. Of course there was no flair, with a 0-60 in the 10.5 range with the 5-speed manual; forever with the automatic. GM decided that the upgraded Lotus-designed suspension and turbocharger weren't worth the trouble. They were probably right because it would have jacked the price up even further. There was literally nothing to recommend this car over a Civic Si hatchback, which could be had for only a couple of hundred bucks more ($400, to be more precise). Buyers agreed.

When was the last time you saw one of these? Rust, rust, rust...with "classic Camaro styling"?!? WTH? Well, he is in WisCAHNsin...

    Did I miss it, or did the guy not name a price for this gem? Actually, I have never seen this model before. It is not bad looking. It does sound like the drive train will be a bit anemic, with the automatic.
