I'm always amused when I spot a Chevrolet MW - a rebadged Suzuki Wagon R+, which was basically a slightly enlarged version of their “Wagon R” Kei car.

One of the very few GM cars you ever see in Japan, where foreign-brand cars are almost always higher-end cars!

Around the same time they also had a joint project which resulting in the Chevy Cruze - they took a Suzuki Ignis, had Holden in Australia redesign it, let Suzuki build it and sold it in the US/Europe/Aus/NZ

A black Chevrolet MW, with a blue GM badge. The design looks surprisingly small and Japanese for a Chevy product.
