Editing Captive import (section)

== Other markets ==
In Europe, there have been relatively few cases of captive imports, and most have been unsuccessful. The [[Chevrolet Venture]] [[minivan]] was sold as the [[Opel]]/[[Vauxhall Motors|Vauxhall]] [[General Motors Sintra|Sintra]] (SWB) and [[Chevrolet Trans Sport]] (LWB) in the late-1990s, but was not only not to European tastes, but also gained a bad reputation due to poor results in safety tests. The practice has been revived by [[PSA Peugeot Citroën]] with the [[Peugeot 4007]], [[Peugeot 4008]], [[Citroën C-Crosser]], and [[Citroën C4 Aircross]], which are rebadged versions of the [[Mitsubishi Outlander]] and [[Mitsubishi ASX]], respectively. However, the introduction of the [[Ford Mustang (sixth generation)|Ford Mustang]] to Europe in 2015 has been successful, owing to the Mustang's image and unique positioning.

In Brazil, the Australian-built [[Holden Commodore]] has been sold since 1998 as Chevrolet Omega, replacing the [[Opel Omega#Omega|locally built car]] bearing the same name. Despite being well received by the press and public, sales are much worse than its locally built counterpart, simply because of its high price. However, it is used very often as official government cars. Chevrolet also rebranded the Argentine-built [[Suzuki Escudo|Suzuki Vitara]] as the Chevrolet Tracker after Suzuki stopped selling cars in Brazil, but it never achieved the same sales figures as the original car.

In Japan, where foreign car manufacturers have traditionally struggled to compete in the local market, even rebadging of U.S. models like the [[Chevrolet Cavalier]] as a [[Toyota]] has failed to improve sales.

In Australia, GM's [[Holden]] operation sold the 1975-84 Isuzu Bellett/Gemini, itself a license-built version of the then-current Opel Kadett, as the [[Holden Gemini]]. The name was originally Holden-Isuzu Gemini, but after the first TX series, the Isuzu cobranding was dropped. Perhaps the original idea was to foster the Japanese-ness of the model at a time when customers might have seen that as a positive, the Nissan's 610 Bluebird being marketed as the [[Datsun 180B SSS|Datsun 180B]] being a big seller at the time. The Gemini was assembled in Australia at Acacia Ridge in [[Queensland]] and Holden was still the highest-selling brand. The [[Chevrolet LUV]] produced by Isuzu was also sold from 1973 for a couple of years, the only official Chevrolet branded model available in Australia at the time (and since). Ford sold the Taurus in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong in 1996, but stopped in 1999. In 1998, the [[Chevrolet Suburban]], was marketed in Australia and New Zealand as a rebadged [[Holden Suburban]] with intentions to launch the full-sized SUV in a region that was used to having small to mid-sized SUVs, and the model was discontinued in 2001.
