I cant F%^##%N believe this BS
if you dont know, Toyota sold the chevy cavalier in japan as a RHD car?
and if you did know this, allow me to crawl back under the rock i have been under
[edit] Toyota Cavalier
1996 Toyota Cavalier coupé (Japanese export model with amber rear turn signals)
The third generation model was briefly sold in Japan by Toyota, under a company agreement with GM, badged as the Toyota Cavalier, with some notable differences. Besides the fact that it was right hand drive, the Toyota Cavalier also featured a leather-wrapped shift **** and steering wheel, wider front fenders, Japanese legal taillights (with amber turn signals, per Japanese regulations), power folding rear mirrors, side turn signal repeater lights on the front fenders, and carpeting on the inside of the trunk lid. Interior seats were often flecked with color. Rear seat was folding. The Toyota Cavalier was entirely produced by GM in the USA and delivered fair sales from 1995 to 2000.
A fair number of these vehicles are re-exported as Japanese used cars, most notably to New Zealand.
the only one who never knew this, if i am well so what
and if you did know this, allow me to crawl back under the rock i have been under

GM has some of old korean car designs as their new car and stuff with different names -_ -..
there are some stupidest marketers in the u.s. car companies..
they think cavalier will become big in japan and ppl choose it over corolla.

It's ok Marko, you don't have to go crawling anywhere but I first got news of this back in 2000 when browsing through the BOMEX catalogue and they offered a kit for the Cadavalier. The ppl who bought this kit considered themselves "JDM"

old news.... apparently, even some dealers didn't know that.
when we went to get my wife's 04 corolla, the sales guy was pointing to a cavvy and saying how much of a piece of ---- it was.. lol....
ALSO, there's a chevy version of the old corolla too.. like the 98 style corollas i mean.
