FuegoTurbo ◊ 2011-06-20 14:57	This site is in North-America ? I don't think it existed the sports version Geo/Chevrolet 1.3 GTi 16v , but that picture is definitely a 1.3 GTi 16v, there is also the silver sticker "twin cam 16 valve" on the side: http://www.flickr.com/photos/coopey/5520970014/

It was only called Swift GTi for one year though (1989) because VW sued on copyright infringement (VW has the copyright on GTI in the US) so for the remainder of it's model years (1990-1994) is was simply called Swift GT. Canada also got a sports version of the Geo Metro called the Metro GSi which had the GTi engine in it from 1992-1994. -- Last edit: 2011-06-20 21:39:33
