Geos, Toyota converting Chevy owners Options

[97lestyousay]

I was just thinking about how I used to have and buy mostly Chevys then bought a 91 Geo Prizm.
I learned about the dependablity of the 7a and other Toyotas. I think other people have been converted this way.

There is the older RWD Isuzu Impulse which did have a 2 liter turbo 4 banger, but it is NOT the same thing as the Geo Storm. The Geo Storm is the same as the later Isuzu Impulse, which changed to FWD in the 90's... but the Isuzu version (90-92 Impulse I think) are VERY rare, especially the AWD turbo one... regardless... I've come across two turbo Impulses (old RWD ones) and both had tranny issues and turbo issues. The AWD turbo one doesn't have the old 2.0... instead it had a different 1.6 and both the 2.0 and 1.6 had small turbos.

Wow, I think your wrong. I never thought I'd correct you. The 90-93 Impulses came with 1.8 turbo RS with AWD, and the non turbo 1.8 litter. The turbo was rated at 155 hp, the non was 135. The 90-93 Geo Storm came with the 1.8 non turbo motor, and the 1.6 non turbo. So it was a small turbo. My non turbo was just fine for speed. And the transmision on it was great. Shifted a lot smoother than the Celica and felt like it would take a lot of abuse. Just minor things, but I wouldn't pass up the oppertunity to correct you.
