FactUnderneath, the Prisma is a Delta hatchback with a boot grafted on, drawn by the same man, Giugiaro.
The saloon version of the first-generation Delta hatchback, drawn like it by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign and built at Chivasso from 1982-83 to 1989: a four-door, five-seat steel monocoque with a transverse engine in line with the transaxle and independent suspension all round (MacPherson struts at the front, parallel transverse links at the rear). Like the Delta, it was offered as a 4x4 integrale (non-turbo, with an air-locking rear differential). Engines ran from a 1.3 to a 1.6 twin-cam and a 2.0 for the 4WD, plus a 1.9 diesel from 1984 and a KKK-turbocharged intercooled version. The Dedra replaced it.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
