==== Japan ==== From 1995 to 2000 [[Toyota]] in an agreement with GM sold the third-generation model Chevrolet Cavalier as the [[Toyota Cavalier]] in Japan in exchange for the [[Geo Prizm|Geo/Chevrolet Prism]] in an effort to avoid additional restrictions on their exports to the US. The OHV [[Chevrolet Stovebolt engine]] was used and reverse-engineered by Toyota when they created the [[Toyota Type A engine]] when GM had a factory manufacturing GM cars in Japan at [[List of General Motors factories#Former factories|Osaka Assembly]] during the 1920s. In the mid-2000s, Suzuki imported and marketed the [[Chevrolet Trailblazer (SUV)|Chevrolet TrailBlazer]] and the [[Chevrolet Optra]] wagon in Japan. Suzuki, a GM partner, also assembled and marketed the Chevrolet MW microvan. The MW was originally a rebadged Suzuki Wagon R+ and later a rebadged Suzuki Solio. Suzuki had also marketed the [[Holden Cruze|Chevrolet Cruze]] subcompact in the past. In the 2010s, General Motors Japan Limited distributed and marketed the [[Chevrolet Sonic|Sonic]], [[Chevrolet Captiva|Captiva]], [[Chevrolet Camaro|Camaro]], and [[Chevrolet Corvette|Corvette]] in limited numbers through an agreement with [[Yanase (car dealership)|Yanase Co., Ltd.]] dealerships. In the 2000s, General Motors Asia Pacific (Japan) had distributed and marketed the TrailBlazer also. {{As of|2010}}, [[Mitsui]] Bussan Automotive distributes and markets the [[Chevrolet Tahoe]], [[Chevrolet Express]], [[Chevrolet HHR]], [[Chevrolet Silverado|Silverado]], and [[Chevrolet Traverse|Traverse]]. Previously, it had also marketed the Starcraft versions of the [[Chevrolet Express|G-Van]] and [[Chevrolet Trailblazer (SUV)|Chevrolet TrailBlazer]]. Mitsui Bussan Automotive had been importing and distributing certain GM models since 1992, but will cease their GM import business in November 2011, as GM Japan wants to consolidate the distribution channels. The Chevrolet models that have been imported by Mitsui will no longer be sold once existing inventories are depleted. As of 2022, General Motors Japan imports and distributes the Camaro and right-hand-drive Corvette in Japan.
