Alot of people didn't like the GTO, they should have done something different with the looks. I loved the G8 though. I was the same way with Isuzu's (never thought they were any good) until I owned one, now I love them lol. From a 4x4 standpoint they came with alot of stuff that other trucks upgraded to (D44's, strength of the Isuzu 12-bolt, 4-wheel discs, gear driven transfer-case, decently powerful V6, etc etc). The looks were somewhat "bland" for most people (besides the VX) but I don't think Isuzu built them for style points on the outside. And honestly I don't think the Trooper is any more roll-over worthy than any SUV that size from that era (Land Rovers, Explorers, Tahoes, etc etc).
