Family and rivals

Where it sits in GM (General Motors)'s history is not in doubt: the HydroGen1 came before it; the GM HydroGen4 followed it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Honda Fit, the Mazda Mazda6, the Citroën C3. Its GM (General Motors) stablemates include the 1955 Chevrolet and the 1957 Chevrolet.
