Glad you're still in a Yaris so you come here and help us solve things.
(Circa 91 Corolla about the same as Chevy Prizm. GM's Geo Metros were built by Suzuki.)
Some Chevys and Corollas were being built in the joint-owned NUMMI (?) factory in CA...later sold to some hopeful electric car entrepreneur or something.)

The Geo Metro (and Tracker) were built at CAMI in Ontario, a joint venture between GM and Suzuki. The Geo no one remembers, the Storm, was a rebadged Isuzu Impulse, imported from Japan.

Yes, I think his name was Elon Musk. Started calling it the "Tesla Factory" or something. Dunno what happened to that guy.
