Man, when was the last time you saw a Chevrolet Sprint Turbo on the road…okay…actually, have you ever seen a Sprint Turbo on the road? What is this thing? Quick recap; Suzuki built a supermini called the Cultus from 1983 through 2003, and GM decided they wanted in on the action…which meant slapping random badges […]
