Geo Storm : ウィキペディア英語版
Geo Storm

The Geo Storm is a sport compact car manufactured by Isuzu and sold in the United States by Geo from 1990 through 1993. The same vehicles, with minor variations, were sold in Canada in the 1992 and 1993 model years only. The Storm was intended to be a budget car with the look and feel of a sports car. It can be considered to have replaced the related Geo Spectrum, which was sold in hatchback and sedan, although it was only sold in two-door hatchback and station wagon forms.
The Geo Storm was a rebadged version of the sporty, second generation Isuzu Impulse minus some of that car's more expensive features. The Storm was sold in Japan as the PA Nero and related Gemini Coupe, Impulse.〔(History ) of the Gemini series of cars from Isuzu.〕 The Storm lacked the Impulse's Lotus-tuned suspension as well as the Impulse's optional turbocharger and all-wheel drive drivetrain. Although they were essentially the same car, sales of the Storm were much stronger than those of the Impulse—indeed, the Storm sold better than most small GM cars of that era. Slow sales of the Isuzu version doomed the Storm when the Isuzu Impulse was canceled, the Geo Storm derivative had nothing to be built from, meaning both cars were discontinued in 1993. As of 2010, there were only 40,300 Storms registered for road use.
The Storm was manufactured at Isuzu's main plant in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, Japan. The Storm and Impulse were sold in Canada by GM as the Asüna Sunfire.

The most common body style for the Storm was a three-door hatchback. The 1990 and 1991 hatchbacks were produced in two trim packages, but all Storms shared front disc and rear drum brakes and had an anti-sway bar to tighten the front suspension. The base model was priced at $10,390, and the ''GSi'' was $11,650 .USD〔''Geo Storm GSi.'' (includes related articles) (evaluation). John Phillips III, Larry Griffin, Nicholas Bissoon-Dath and David Kunkler. Car and Driver v35.n11 (May 1990): pp61(5). (2378 words)〕
The base model's SOHC inline-four engine produced 95 hp (71 kW) and had a 9.1:1 compression ratio.〔 The more powerful 1990–1991 ''GSi'' used a 1.6L DOHC engine that produced 130 hp (97 kW) and had a 9.8:1 compression ratio.〔 The ''GSi'' package also included driving lights, a spoiler, a rear anti-sway bar, and a transmission with a gear ratio that was slightly better for acceleration〔(Geo Storm Specifications )〕 than the base model's manual transmission.
For 1991 and 1992, customers had the option of purchasing a two-door station wagon body style, also called a wagonback. The base price of the station wagon was $11,450, and it was never offered with the stronger ''GSi'' engine. The station wagon was marketed as a "hatchback" and the normal Storm – a more traditional hatchback – was marketed as a "coupé".〔''Geo Storm Hatchback.'' (evaluation). Phil Berg. Car and Driver v36.n10 (April 1991): pp165(2). (836 words)〕
In 1992, the Storm was restyled to have a smoother front fascia without the pop-up headlight covers on earlier models. The 1992–93 base models retained the same engine, features, and price that were on the earlier car, with slight interior changes such as different stereos, revised rear speaker locations, and interior trim and upholstery. The GSi version from these years cost considerably more ($13,645–14,560) but this price included a larger 1.8 L 140 hp (104 kW) engine.
The Japanese were also offered the Geo Storm version of the Piazza, called the Piazza PA Nero, which was exclusive to Japanese dealerships called Yanase Co., Ltd. under special arrangement, a dealership that sold GM products in Japan.
