The General created the Geo Division in 1989, as a means of selling vehicles made (or at least designed) by partners Isuzu, Suzuki and Toyota. The Prizm, built at the NUMMI plant in California (now birthplace of Teslas), was a Toyota Corolla Sprinter, with all of the E80 Corolla's legendary reliability ... and all of its legendary lack of excitement.
Here's a television commercial for the 1993 Geo Prizm (Prizms became Chevrolets starting in 1998), showing off the car's endless possibilities represented by the faces of a Rubik's Cube. The Rubik's Cube hit peak popularity in about 1981, 12 years before this advertisement, but that didn't stop these adventurous marketers!
