Junkyard Find: 1990 Geo Metro LSi Convertible

GM and Ford sold quite a few of their badge-engineered micro-import gas-sippers (the Kia Pride aka Ford Festiva/Aspire and Suzuki Cultus aka Chevy Sprint/Geo Metro) in the 1980s and 1990s, and that means that I see a lot of these cars in the junkyard these days. It takes a special Metro to warrant inclusion here— so far we’ve seen this ’90 Metro El Camino, this ’92 LSi convertible, this electric-powered ’95 Metro, and this ’91 Suzuki Swift so far, plus this bonus Honda CBR1000-powered LeMons race-winning Metro— and I think a happy yellow LSi convertible is more interesting than your ordinary Geozuki.

Jkross22 Nostalgia has been the sole appeal of this show for a long time. The older Top Gear episodes were gold. The last 17 years has ranged from uneven to a predictable, cheesy bore. The decline was obvious in the last couple of years at BBC and carried fwd to Amazon/Grand Tour. The formula needed tweaking as is evidenced by Chris Harris continued success and a few YouTube channels like SavageGeese. The kitch never evolved or changed with Hammond, Clarkson and May. I guess that was the appeal. For those of us not into the nostalgia, it wasn't enough.

TheEndlessEnigma An attractive product with a good powertrain option....not available in North America. Seems like Ford is making GNM inspired decisions!
EngineerfromBaja_1990 Not my favorite TGT episode (honestly it could've been 30 min shorter or add the usual drag race or track times on a made up circuit), but I enjoyed most of it as well as the 15 years I followed these chaps doing fun car things.Now the big question is, will I ever find another car show to get hooked up without all that reality show BS that's so persistent nowadays? I find most of these workshop based shows to be severely lacking on fun factor and the plot gets old quite fast when they present the same 2 or 3 problems with every car they build
TheEndlessEnigma Buick = Overpaying for a Chevy. Anything GM...dammit did it again....gm...is permanently off my shopping list until they stop forcing OnStar as required standard equipment. The only plus-side I see here? Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are still supported.
