Geo Prism got its start in 1989 and was introduced to the U.S. as an “entry level” compact car until the year 2002. By 1998 the name had been switched to the “Chevrolet Prism”. Prism was considered a twin to Toyota’s “Sprinter and replaced the Nova on the GM line-up. The design of Geo Prism had been made possible through New United Motor Manufacturing Inc., an affiliation between the makers of Toyota and the General Motors branch of Fremont, California. In 1991 the first version of the Prism was a hatch back model molded in the same design as the Toyota Corolla. In ’92, the Gsi version of this vehicle was highly noted for its twin-cam engine, sport-style suspension, and 14-inch wheels.

Also, in the year of 1991 the style of lettering for the car had changed from regular print to uppercase Italics. The door and body frames had been turned the color of the car itself instead of being black as they had been in the past. An extended version of the Prism called the Geo Metro began selling in the United States in 1995, which pushed the prism to new manufacturing levels in performance and handling. For the year 1993, a new design was given to the Prism at the recommendation of the EPA. A driver’s side airbag was standard in all model types by this time and the engine size was a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder piece.

All models by 1993 had rear stabilizer bars and wider tires. The automatic transmission had four speeds instead of three as it did when it first came into existence. In the year 1999 the front stabilizing bar was added to all Prism models. The Geo Prizm engine also gained added power to an extra 5 points by the installation of a timing valve and also came standard with 2 airbags. Declining popularity on the Prism in 2001 had sealed the car’s ill fate.
