==== Thailand ==== {{Main|General Motors Thailand}} The American-built [[Chevrolet Colorado]] pickup is also manufactured in Rayong, Thailand. Starting in 2003, the [[Holden Commodore]] was badged as the [[Chevrolet Lumina]] in [[Thailand]] for the [[Holden Commodore (VY)|VY]] and [[Holden Commodore (VZ)|VZ]] model series. Exports lasted until 2005.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.nextcar.com.au/n.holden.2005.exports.06feb.html | title = Flagships star in GM Holden's export record | publisher = Next Car | date = February 1, 2006 | access-date = December 19, 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141219122749/http://www.nextcar.com.au/n.holden.2005.exports.06feb.html | archive-date = December 19, 2014 | url-status = dead }}</ref> General Motors is currently exploring cost-cutting options as part of its restructuring plan. One of these options involves expanding the Rayong, Thailand plant to add additional capacity to export Colorados to the US. This would allow the Shreveport, Louisiana plant to be closed (where the Colorado is also produced). This scenario is plausible only if a free-trade agreement is signed between the U.S. and Thailand, as the American [[tariff]] on imported pickup trucks from non-FTA countries is currently 25%. The [[United Auto Workers]] is the most vocal opponent to a change in the tariff structure. In addition to the Colorado pickup trucks, General Motors began assembling Chevrolet Captiva sport utility vehicle in its Rayong plant during June 2007. The Thai-assembled Captiva is based on THETA platform under the program code C100. Also produced at the General Motors' Rayong plant are the Chevrolet Aveo (launched in September 2009 under the platform T100) and Chevrolet Cruze (launched in November 2010 under the platform GLOBAL DELTA).<ref name="ASEAN Automotive Statistics">{{cite web|title=Proliance|url=https://www.proliance.co.th|publisher=Proliance|access-date=February 28, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315025705/http://proliance.co.th/|archive-date=March 15, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> Chevrolet stopped selling its vehicles throughout Thailand in 2020, and sold the Rayong plant to Great Wall.<ref name="BP">{{cite news|url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/1859694/gm-sells-off-factories-to-great-wall |title=GM sells off factories to Great Wall |newspaper=Bangkok Post |publisher=Bangkokpost.com |date= |accessdate=2022-04-18}}</ref> Aftermarket sales, repairs and warranties will be honored for its Thai customers through authorized shops.<ref name="BP"/>
