The final product was kinda pricey although and had some nice features, but wasn't exactly enticing enough to justify the price to the general public who test drove it. Had it been a mega-hit, Isuzu probably would have said, "Let's make some more traditional dies and mass produce" but that didn't happen.

Thanks for venturing your impression I'm certain there is truth to it. The high price was indeed an issue ( along with other factors).
