Chevy Aveo/Suzuki Verona both made at GMDAT?

My sister has a Suzuki Verona and I noticed that the manufacturer's label said it was made at GMDAT. Also, there were many parts on it that were identical, like the steering wheel, seat mechanics and some trim pieces. Are there alot of parts that could be interchanged between the Aveo and Verona?

I'm sure some parts are. the aveo and the Canadian Suzuki Swift are identical cars. Verona and the Epica were I identical too if I remember. Optra and the Forenza were also identical iirc. Sometimes it's cheaper for car manufacturers to pay to rebadge a vehicle than redesign something and have to build a platform for it etc etc.
