Pontiac Vibe. Toyota Matrix. Think Corolla Wagon.

There used to be others, but I believe that is the only current one
based on a Toyota.

The Chevy Nova/Spectrum/Geo Spectrum was a rebadged Toyota Corolla in
the 80s. Note that this is the Nova from about 1985 on, not earlier
ones.

the Nova which was sold in the later 80's was a Tercel.

Don't know if it's still made - but the Prism was the Corolla's American
twin.

Just Googled it - the Chevy Prism is no longer produced.

The Chevy Nova was based on the Corolla, not the Tercel.

The Chevy Nova was later re-badged as the Geo Prizm.

The Geo/Chevy Prizm was a Corolla down to the last nut and bolt (except
for decorations). Funny how Condemner Retards and similar publications
used to rave about how GREAT the Corolla was, but the Prizm (made on the
SAME assembly line) was just "typical American junk." Fact was, they
were both crappy little sh*tboxes.

Right now, I think the Pontiac Vibe is the same vehicle as the Matrix.
Probably a lot better than the Corolla/Prizm, but I'd go for a Caliber
if I were in the market for a mini wagon.

I beg to differ your last sentence. I've owned Corollas since '84 -
reliable cars, & with LE version, plenty of perks.

The Matrix is the Corolla, with a different body.
