That was my first thought too...

Isuzu is well known for sourcing parts from other models.
The VX, with an orig sticker price of $30k-+, I doubt they were gonna spend any time re-engineering new bumps for a model with a known production run of less than 6000.

As per u$ual corporate...slap something on it & send it to the masses...
