Chevy Tracker – What’s In A Name?
When I got the idea for this site, it was essentially to have fun blogging about my Tracker. As I started, I soon saw that the Tracker basically is a ……………… Suzuki, re-badged as a GM, Pontiac, Chevy and God only knows what else.
There’s actually a couple of items in Wikipedia that try to trace some of the history of this little beast:
Chevy Tracker – Click Here
Suzuki Jimny – Click Here
Suzuki Escudo – Click Here – This article has a great timeline.
The bottom line is that it’s almost impossible to follow all the badge changes over time and basically, whether we’re talking about:
an Escudo, a Jimny, a Samurai, Sidekick, Vitara, Grand Vitara or Tracker, they’re pretty much identical across badges, at least up until 2004 when the trackers lost the convertible model.
Since I’m now including some videos of the breed, don’t be surprised to see some of the Suzuki variants. The important thing isn’t the badge, but the fum mini-SUV behind it!
Make it a great one
