Yeah, working at an auto shop it's easy to tell when two cars are the same with a few different body panels.

For those of you wondering about the Toyota and GM connection... They've been collaberating for years.

Geo was a joint venture between GM and Toyota and also Suzuki. The tracker was a suzuki with GM badges. And if you look closely at the Geo logo you'll see the Chevy bowtie in the center.

And Dodge and Mitsubishi have worked together for a long time now.

The engine in the Caliber SRT-4 is almost the same one in the EVO. And I'd also venture to guess the chassis is similar if not shared.
