HISTORY OF TRACKER
|
|
The GEO Tracker was introduced as a "badge engineered" version of the Suzuki Sidekick in 1989. Both vehicles were built at the CAMI plant at Ingersoll, Ontario, Canada. CAMI Automotive, a joint venture between GM of Canada and Suzuki Motors of Canada, was founded in 1989 and is responsible for the manufacture of several models of vehicles. "J1" GEO Trackers and Suzuki Sidekicks were produced from the beginning and continued almost unchanged until 1998. In 1998, the Tracker dropped the GEO name and started displaying just the Chevy name and bowtie. In 1999, along with major styling changes it became the "J2" Tracker with the Chevy nametag. The Sidekick was renamed to "Vitara" with the four door model being known as the "Grand Vitara". 2004 was the last year for USA production Trackers.
