Not sure what else to call this... nor where to put it other than humor. I sure got a chuckle out of stumbling across it while doing car shopping. [And no I was not looking Metros!]

Link.

"Professionally shortened." I guess for people who need to park in their closet instead of their garage.

A Gremlin's Gremlin.
edit: Manual or automatic? One had the 3 cyl., the other had a 4 cyl.
A coworker had a Metro. It rusted....away.

Forgot that was today.

Honestly, came across this a few days ago, only just now getting to posting it. Apparently it's not selling that fast.

That's a neat little machine. I would assume it was shortened but maybe it was some weird prototype.

I had a Chevy Sprint 3cyl with a stick, gen 1 when it was just a rebadged Suzuki Swift. Great little commuter with literally no failings for its class.
GM messed with it for gen 2 and built then in Canada and all the goodness went away.

What's that rectangle between the bowtie and left headlight?

Bro had a non turbo but I think it was a I4? Don't remember that part but It certainly wasn't the turbo & I remember it being a Mitsubishi engine I think.

Funny thing, I test drove an Alfa Romeo sedan of some kind in '88 or there abouts, and I came away quite unimpressed and again quite at home as I hopped back into the unassuming Sprint 3cyl non turbo and headed home. An Incredibly well sorted and functional sub compact - trashed by GM when they
Geo Metro-ized" it to mediocrity.
