Chevrolet had a good opportunity to jettison the Prizm compact sedan when it scrapped the Geo division earlier this year.With the compact Cavalier and mid-size Malibu selling well, there really was no need for another small sedan in the Chevrolet lineup - especially one built by another manufacturer.The Prizm, designed and built by Toyota, is made in California in a factory operated by Toyota and General Motors.But the Prizm has something not found in any other sedan wearing the Chevy bow tie: a sterling reputation and the ability to cut across the domestic vs.
import battle lines.
