Fujimi made the Toyota-badged Cavalier in 1/32 scale:

wow thats weird isn't that stealing the name cavalier or is there some sort of partenership between chevrolet and toyota.The Toyota Cavalier 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 shift knob and steering wheel, different taillights, power folding rear mirrors, side marker lights on the front fenders, and carpeting on the inside of the trunk lid. These parts are hard to obtain in America but remain highly desirable among hardcore Cavalier fans. Toyota Cavaliers were first sold in 1995 and were sold up until 2000.

From what I read in Automotive News long time ago, I believe the Toyota version has some 20 to 30 changes, as well as post assembly inspection by the Japanese company, in order for the Chevy to be remotely attractive to the Japanese consumers, but even with Toyota's powerful dealer network, the car didn't sell very well.
Edit: More than 100 changes.
In the end, Honda and Toyota increased the sales of the US-built Accord and Camry in Japan to evade potential trade dispute, and well...it worked.:lol:
