1. Geo Prizm / Toyota Corolla

The Geo Prizm might seem like an all-American compact, but it’s really a Toyota Corolla in disguise. Built alongside the Corolla at the NUMMI plant in California, the Prizm shared its platform, engine, and most mechanical parts with its Japanese twin. Despite this, it was branded and marketed by General Motors to attract buyers who wouldn’t necessarily consider a Toyota. This clever rebadging move allowed GM to offer renowned Toyota reliability under a completely different badge. Source
