Isuzu News: Isuzu USA President Speaks + more
Here is some reading in this matter from 4x4wire.com that might be interestig to some of you
Isuzu just in same boat as Mitsubishi now
It is funny how we develop attachments to our cars. Personally my first admiration for Isuzu came from a friend who had an Isuzu van on lease in England, and he put over 150K miles on it in there [not an easy feat in the UK] and then he bought the truck when it came off lease. Later on I had a '90 trooper here in the US with many many miles and many many happy memories and that truck too was so strong and reliable nothing could kill it and was still running great when I went for the VX.
Anyway William Crapo Durant [GM founder] certainly deserved his middle name which neatly sums up my personal opinion of GM after owning many of their products, details of which will go unmentioned. GM simply wants Isuzu like Chrysler wants Mitsubishi - by purchasing and castrating their real competition the big automakers destroy the competition, this is a common theme in the anals of corporate history. [Pun intended]
So the fact that Isuzu is pulling away from their 'evil master' can only be a good thing, although it will take time for Isuzu to re-invent themselves and once again ascend. [No pun intended]
