The Chevrolet Prizm was a small sedan sold by Chevrolet from 1998 through 2002. It was a rebadged version of the Toyota Corolla, replacing the similar Geo Prizm, which itself replaced the Toyota-based 1988 Chevrolet Nova. All of the above-mentioned models were produced at NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc), a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota. Therefore, it was a United States-only vehicle.
Many reasons why the Prizm was discontinued shortly after its introduction as a Chevrolet model may be its redundancy. It was smaller than the Cavalier, another Chevrolet car. Also, it was more expensive than the Cavalier. So, many customers were willing to save the money and get more space and comfort by purchasing the Cavalier. In addition, GM wanted to utilize its production capacity at NUMMI to build the new Pontiac Vibe, a sister car of the Corolla-based Toyota Matrix.
