A Chevy used car ranked higher than a Toyota? Have we lost our minds? No. The reality is that this Chevy is a Toyota, a Corolla specifically, and boasts all of the same goodness as its Toyota platform-mate. The Prizm ranks higher here for one simple reason: Because of that Chevy badge, the resale value on it is significantly lower, and thus it's a better used-car bargain.
