Asüna

Vehicle and Equipment Manufacturers

Asüna was a captive import automobile marque created in 1992 for sale in Canada by General Motors as a counterpart to Geo, and was one of two successors to the Passport marque, which had a similar intent. Because Geo sales were relatively successful, Pontiac-Buick-GMC dealers asked General Motors Canada for a similar import lineup, and Asüna was created to meet that demand. Its range included the Asüna SE and GT, which were the Pontiac LeMans name dropped in favor of trim designations, the 1993 Sunfire, a twin of the Isuzu Impulse and Geo Storm, and the Sunrunner. Asüna sales could not match Geo's and the marque was eliminated for 1994, after which the Sunrunner was rebadged as a Pontiac model.
