In 1988, the hatchback was given the name Chevrolet Sprint Metro. The Metro name as many know was later carried through into the Geo brand. To make the situation even more complicating, the name was later changed back to Chevrolet again in 1998. The Suzuki Swift underwent another redesign in 1989, and a new name was given to the vehicle. For better or worse, this same model car was born and reborn all over again a number of times. It seems as if consumers didn't even notice for it was really not a big deal in the automotive industry. It seems perhaps all buyers were concerned about was that air conditioning was offered in all years. This was about the only consistency through the years. After 1986 a three-speed automatic transmission began to be offered and was a well-sold option. Additionally, all models featured front-wheel drive and 12-inch tires, which drivers loved because it gave the Sprint excellent handling
