I poped my GF's friends car on her chevy prism 2001 and i was amazed to see VVTI and what looked like a corolla/celica motor~~~~~ WHAT IS UP~
2001 Chevy prism has a toyota engine! - 6G Celicas Forums
Thats been going on for awhile. My 97 corolla had a prizm counterpart. Don't know how long ago thats been going on.

pretty much what it is, both gm, and toyota buy the same engines.... an for the most part, thats why i dont understand why most of yuo rag out gm's well... american cars.
yeah- sold in japan for awhile (toyota calaviers)... nobody bought em, lol... yeah prizm's have been corolla clones since they came out in 1990(?)... ususally they had the body bits of japaese toyota sprinter sedans... my dad company swears by them for delivery cars- theve had at least 15 of em, most get 150,000 miles out of them before they sell em off, and they have never had anything major go wrong with any of em. But yeah same motor as the corolla family (celica gt, matrix, ect..)

This topic makes me laugh... considering who it's coming from...
The chevy Prism and toyota corolla are exactly the same except for some exterior differences. I think all of the prisms use toyota engines (4age, 4afe, etc...). There are others also...

The Corolla IS a Prism, same as a Matrix IS a Vibe, same as a RAV4 is a Chevy Tracker.
General motors no longer is in the business of designing cars, they broke their pencils long ago and lost the sharpener...
Look at the new GTO, the Saab 9-2, ANY Saturn is actually an Opell, The Solstice <sp?> is made from Subaru parts,
GM can EAT MY ASS

the only saturn i know of having ANY relation to an opel is the L-series, and it only uses some suspention and possibly chassis pieces taken from the last generation vectra... the ions were SUPPOSED to be based on the new astra platform, but that was scrapped due to the fact that GM europe said the car wasnt up to european auto consumer standards. the vue is its own platform, and the coming relay is based of the old chevy venture platform. However, i think the solstice is based on gm's new global kappa platform...

He mostly needs to know what he's doing/selling instead of just trying to pass it off as something it's not. Nothing against the guy... and I'm sure his stuff will 'fit' with some modifications... but his advertisement and his knowledge says otherwise... and his lack of evidence too.
Aside from that... if you want performance parts and don't mind a little labor to fit them... go for it. I don't think he's a bad person or anything, or even a cheat... just very very uninformed.

Yeah my friend's 95 Prizm has the 5afe. Pretty crappy.
Btw, the suzuki Sidekick (the Rav4/Tracker) frickin rules! LOL, my friend has an older one with a 5speed and it's about the funnest car to mess around with. You can hit on girls while you're in it and they laugh at you as though it's a pinto, you can try and go off-roading and get stuck like you would taking you mom's grocery getter in the mud, and then drive back and have so much smoke pouring out people were thinking you're cheech and chonging it home. Most versatile/fun piece of junk ever!

Right, as it says in the engine bay 5A-FE...right on the chassis schematic sticker on the underside of the hood.

im pretty sure the RAV4 has never been badge engineered to a Tracker, ever... Trackers are still clearly Suzuki Vitara/Escudo clones.

there is a 5a-fe I had one in a 95 tercel I used to own, worked fine in that car 'cause it weighed nothing.
