12. Geo Prizm
The Geo Prizm was a compact car success story, blending Toyota engineering with GM’s marketing to create a reliable and efficient commuter. Sold under both the Geo and later Chevrolet brands, the Prizm enjoyed brisk sales throughout the 1990s. However, as GM streamlined its offerings and phased out the Geo name, the Prizm quietly disappeared from showrooms. Its reputation for dependability still earns it a place in used car circles.
