... the former "Geo" marque was used by Chebby for the cars they imported
either by Suzuki or Toyota.  This year they dropped the "Geo" marque and are
putting the bow tie on them.  It turns out that the Prizm is a copy of the
Toyota Corolla, which happens to be built at the NUMMI plant here in the Bay
Area.  I saw my first Chevy Prizm on the road the other day ... the bow tie
looks a bit odd to me ...
