GM holding some stake of Suzuki back in the day doesn't make a Suzuki design become a Chevrolet design, despite the rebadges of the Suzuki Cultus/Swift in countries where it was sold as a Chevrolet. Just like the Ford Lased, which had been rebadged Escort in the USDM for a while, was still a Mazda design despite Ford having been a controlling stakeholder of Mazda for a while.
