That car was the 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line, and I managed to find one in a Denver-area car graveyard recently.

The Vue's platform outlived Saturn and still lives today, though.

GM had a good run with various Geo-badged Suzukis, Isuzus and Toyotas , too. The Suzuki Equator seems to be the most puzzling of them all , though, and now my decade-long search has unearthed one in a Denver-area car graveyard. The Equator was a Smyrna-built Nissan Frontier with a slightly different grille and Suzuki badges, period.

Geo renamed the Nova as the Geo Prizm and added other models jointly produced with Isuzu and Suzuki in North America and Japan, but separated them from its “American” cars. During this same time GM created Saturn , a totally new brand, which arrived in 1990 with its own showrooms, advertising and vehicles.
