   New for 1999: Chevrolet's
mini sport ute is completely redesigned for the 1999 model year.
   Tracker features an all-new
interior and exterior, a new four-wheel-drive system, and a new
   engine with more power. 
   History: When the Geo
brand was discontinued Tracker moved under the Chevrolet  nameplate 
for the 1998 model year, allowing the automaker to move into the growing
mini sport-utility  market. It's not so hard to believe that almost
half of Tracker owners are under age 35.  Chevrolet calls Tracker
"the sport utility for young-minded, adventurous, expressive buyers." 
Those who plan to attack the Rubicon Trail will be pleased to know that
Tracker has a full  ladder-type steel frame and nearly eight inches
of ground clearance. Sun worshippers will  appreciate the folding
top on convertible trims, which is specifically designed to be easy to 
raise and lower. Trackers are built in Canada by CAMI, Inc., a joint venture
of General Motors  and Suzuki, which also sells this vehicle as the
Suzuki Vitara. 
   Trim Details: The 1999
Chevrolet Tracker is available in four trims: a 2-door convertible in
   2WD or 4WD; a 4-door hardtop
in 2WD or 4WD. Safety equipment includes dual airbags,
   daytime running lights, child
safety locks (4-door only) and an available 4-wheel anti-lock
   brake system (ABS). Powering
the 2-door Trackers is a 1.6-liter 97-horsepower engine, while
   the 4-door trims get a new
2.0-liter DOHC engine that produces 127 horsepower. Standard
   equipment includes an AM/FM
stereo, rear-seat heater ducts, a fuel tank skidplate, power
   steering and Scotchgard protection.
Four-wheel-drive Trackers feature a shift-on-the-fly 4WD
   system and automatic locking
hubs. Air conditioning, a tilt steering wheel, and upgraded
   stereo systems are available
on all Trackers.  |
