Well, gotta give GM credit for not TOTALLY missing it. They did come out with the Metro (yes, they were involved with the development of it along with Suzuki). Better late than never. But now I think they are fools for having dropped it. At the LEAST they could have come up with a successor that continues to make use of that nice 1.0 three-banger. Could have been a great engine; today's "small block Chevy".
