GM Geo Prizm 1993 commercial
The Geo/Chevrolet Prizm (Chevrolet Prizm starting 1998) was a compact car derived from the Japanese domestic market Toyota Sprinter and jointly developed by Toyota and General Motors. Produced from 1989 to 2002, the Prizm was sold exclusively in the United States and succeeded the 1985--1988 Chevrolet Nova, which was also derived from the Sprinter.
All Prizms were built at NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc), a joint venture company between Toyota and General Motors in Fremont, California.
Production concluded in 2002, and the Prizm was replaced by the Pontiac Vibe, also related to the Toyota Corolla and produced at NUMMI.
The Prizm's 1993 redesign gave it more room (resulting in an upgrade to United States Environmental Protection Agency "compact" car status), a driver airbag, and a new 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine optional on LSi trim. With the larger engine came a rear stabilizer bar, wider tires, and an optional automatic transmission with four speeds instead of three. A second airbag became standard in 1994; leather seats were an option on the LSi between 1994--1997. In contrast with the Sprinter, this generation Prizm lacked a front stabilizer bar in its suspension.
