Not by much, and when comparably equipped (for part of one model year,
when the Chevy/Geo Nova/Prizm lacked a front anti-sway bar that the
Corolla included) they ranked right next to each other. The same was
true of the Toyota Matrix and its clone, the Pontiac Vibe.

Where did you get your information that said the ratings for the
clones were different?
