Only a Canadian would have such info at his fingertips.  ;-)  All the
ones I referred to were sticks, I think you'd have to kick it up to a 4
cylinder to get an automatic.  The other big advantage of the Geo's at
the time was that I could stuff a 40 foot container with a full size
pickup truck, a Camaro, and the Geo would still fit.  

On an Audi note, I'm currently in Brazil, and this mornings "Motor Show"
TV program was on the A6 BiTurbo, the S6 4.2 and the new "sport" car from
Ford, the Ka Sport.  I was laughing out loud when the specs of the
"sport" Ka were announce....95 horsepower, 0-100 Km in 10.8 seconds, all
from the mighty 1.6 liter engine.  What a difference a continent can
make.
