I've heard that a Geo Prizm is basically a Toyota Corolla except with a Chevy Geo label. If so, do they share everything the same (powertrain, body, electrical, etc) or just the engine? And in terms of maintenance, would a Toyota dealership be able to service and repair a Prizm, even though the line is now defunct? The specific model I'm interested in is a 1997 Geo Prizm Lsi 1.8L, with automatic transmission. |

Replying to: lhy (Mar 19, 2009 1:32 pm) The Prizm is a great value because it is cheaper than a Corolla, but the same car. It is always highly recommended as a great used car due to reliability and price. Just an FYI, the Pontiac Vibe is really a Toyota Matrix.

Replying to: terceltom (Mar 19, 2009 6:08 pm) Yes, which makes it a great used car. |

Replying to: mcdawgg (Mar 19, 2009 4:24 pm) Besides the Prizm and Vibe, are there other cars made by Toyota or Honda that have American brand names? And where can I find a list of these kinds of cars? (And you're right about the Prizm being a great used car value. I saw one just posted on Craigslist and was all scheduled to go for a test drive the next day. But somebody came along and stole it from me, buying it on sight and without a test drive--all within a day after the ad was posted.  )

Replying to: lhy (Mar 21, 2009 11:30 am) Some model years of Saturn Vue has Honda engines/transmissions on them. 'Hold it! This is basically the same cast aluminum VTEC variable-valve-timing-equipped mill and five-speed automatic Honda drops into the $36,200 Acura MDX and $27,560 Honda Pilot LX, as well as the Honda Odyssey. Bolted into the $24,810 Saturn Vue (base price is $24,185, plus $395 for curtain airbags, $150 for an upgraded stereo, and $80 for floor mats), doesn't this new Vue represent a "roaring" value? Well, more of a growling value. The Vue is no Honda, although it now sounds and accelerates like one. Compared with the weak jabs of last year's British-built 181-hp, 3.0-liter iron-block V-6, the 250-hp Honda 3.5 delivers a solid right hook. The new Vue's 7.0-second scoot to 60 mph is a substantial 1.4-second trimming of the old time, and the quarter-mile shrivels from 16.6 seconds at 83 mph to 15.5 at 89. Flat-foot the pedal, and the Vue squats on its buns and lunges like a stink bug in heat. On the freeway it zooms by tractor-trailers as if they were rolling on square wheels.

Replying to: gus2005 (Mar 24, 2009 7:14 pm) The Prizm is always recommended as a great used car, because it is a Corolla with great reliability and efficiency but with a lower price |
