Short-lived economy car brand Geo was a part of the General Motors family. Established in 1989 and shuttered in 1998, Geo sold rebadged compact cars from Japanese automakers like Toyota. Geo was designed to attract young drivers and first-time car buyers, with a variety of affordable cars on offer. Even when the brand was discontinued, Geo cars lived on as Chevrolet models until the mid-2000s.

Geo concept and history
In the 1980s, General Motors was looking for a way to compete with popular import brands and get new customers into their showrooms. After teaming up with Toyota to build cars in California and acquiring a stake in both Suzuki and Isuzu, GM decided it was time to launch their own compact car brand. Geo debuted in 1989, designed to lure import buyers into Chevy dealerships. The new Geo cars were essentially rebadged versions of Toyota, Suzuki and Isuzu vehicles. While lauded for being efficient, reliable and economical, the Geo brand never really took off and was absorbed into Chevrolet by 1998.
