Not the car itself, per se, but I always chuckled when during the car plug one game show (Baffle, I think) would show a toy car on a turntable. I favorite car-winning moment occurred on The New Treasure Hunt when a woman fainted when she won a Rolls Royce.

I know Gambit did, but I think a couple Heatter-Quigley shows might've done that. HSq did an art card, though...

From what I remember, the Geo Prism and Toyota Corolla were built on the same platform. IIRC, those were the "sister cars" Consumer Reports always put together.

True, and before the Geo nameplate it was the last incarnation (pun not intended) of the Chevy Nova.  Which led my friend to call his the "Cheyota Novolla."

The Geo Storm was made by Isuzu.  (Would I lie to you?)  It was a less equipped version of the Isuzu Impulse, but I liked my Storm a lot.  I figure everyone is allowed one impractical car per lifetime, and that was mine.

I think the Cullen TPIR had some interesting cars up for bids, but I don't recall any of them at the moment.

I have to imagine the Geo Prizm
Honestly I think it was the Metro far more often.

(I loved my little POS Metro.)

and the Toyota Takeoff were both offered at some point.
Huh?

My research turned up no car by that name.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.
