All the pricing references (stated in pounds) in that article seemed to regard European markets, which don't seem to have suffered the same decline in interest as US markets over the years.
Isuzu pickups and SUVs never left some markets. The D-Max is based off the Chevy Colorado.
D-Max is not Chevy in either way, it is pure Isuzu platform very close to the old good Troopers. It is not related to Isuzu i2xx/i3xx series.Quote:

I just read on wikipedia that it is based on the colorado. makes sense. the trucks look very similar. Gm still owns parts of isuzu too i believe.
I hope isuzu can be back into the US market.
But in order to do so isuzu MUST be aggressive by offering a attractive line up of cars or SUV's with powerfull engine.
It seems that isuzu after all these years they aren't looking into desiging high performance or more powerfull engines and that is a down fall
As we speak must of the manufacturers already developed V6 engines kicking 260+HP. for example jeep grand cherokee with its 290HP or the ford edge with its 300HP.
D-max with 163bhp ? Are you kidding ?
If isuzu is looking into the US again offering lowball engines they'll fail one more time
Both the D-Max and the Colorado are sold here.
Under all the glossy finish, the Colorado has all Isuzu identification, and even the Colorado salesmen will tell you it is a re-badged D -Max.:yesgray::yesy:
In my local area, the D-Max outsells the Colorado about 4 to 1, mainly because of the Dealership reputation.
Gussie, get over looking at engine "power".
Both the Colarado and the D-Max are fitted with very fuel efficient and high torque diesel motors. They get about 550 - 600 miles out of a tank of fuel.
Sure, they are not as fast off the line as the VX, but get them up to cruising speed and they will run rings around us on economy.
Try towing a boat or a caravan behind each motor, and you will go for the diesel every time.:bgwb::bwgy::smilewink
All that said, as long as my VX is alive, it will be my truck.:yesgray::yesy:

PK I understan your points,but you seemed didn't get mines.
If we talking about MPG over the years manufacturers have manage to improve fuel economy and powertrain. Do we agree on that ?
Yes,diesel is the best option here but how many SUV's comes with that options as we speak ?
Isuzu just keep building modest engines,if you wanna haul an small RV i bet you wouldn't want a SUV with only 163hp when you can definately get more then that probably for the same amount of cash.
