The Chevette was a variation of the General Motors T-car platform which includes Opel Kadett, Chevrolet Chevette and Isuzu Gemini. Offered as a 2-door sedan and as a 4-door sedan, it was powered by a 1.6-liter overhead camshaft engine with a 1.8-liter Isuzu diesel engine available as an option. A pickup version of the Chevette was sold in Argentina as the GMC 500.

The Chevette was the only sedan car to be badged as a GMC. (In North America, the GMC brand solely marketed light duty and heavy duty trucks until the late 2000s when the company added crossovers.)[https://www.carthrottle.com/post/2zlz444/ GMC Chevette.
