Prizm (1.6L)

STORY

The Geo Prizm was sold in the 1990 to 1997 model years and built at NUMMI, the joint General Motors and Toyota plant in Fremont, California. It was mechanically a twin of the Toyota Corolla and took over from the Chevrolet Nova, which was also a NUMMI Corolla.

The first generation (1990-1992) came as a sedan and a hatchback. Its 1.6-litre Toyota 4A-FE four-cylinder engine made 102 PS, and the GSi had the twin-cam 4A-GE with 130 PS. The second generation (1993-1997) was a sedan only, on the Toyota E100 Corolla platform, with 1.6 and 1.8-litre engines. After the Geo brand ended, the car continued as the Chevrolet Prizm.
