Original: In 1991 , the lettering the car was changed from '' Prizm '' to '' PRIZM '' in italicized and capital letters ( although the steering wheel continued to use '' Prizm '' ) , and the B-pillar and door frames on base models were now body-colored instead of black .
Simplified: The Prizm and the Corolla shared the same parts and engines . In 1998 , the name of the car was changed to Chevrolet Prizm .
