I think that's "Geo Metro" for the US, Geo being a sub-brand of Chevrolet/GM 
(for a time) indicating some sort of offshore rebadging involvement with a 
manufacturing partner; "Geo Storm" was an Isuzu Impulse, "Geo Prizm" was a 
Toyota Corolla (built at the plant in California), "Geo Tracker" was some sort 
of Suzuki mini-SUV - I think there is still/was more recently a "Chevy Tracker" 
after the Geo name bit the dust.

Nit-picking away,
