Given that the 2003 year model vehicles were coming out making a 2001 2 years old you have to allow for the fact the sales just weren't there
Well, you have to ask "why" questions about the sales not being there. Here's one idea: 1999 marked the end of the Astral Silver paint color. They sold 1024 in this color. It accounted for approx half of total year one sales. Far and away out selling either the black or white paint colors (the black they kept alive through 2001). Why eliminate your far and away best color seller??? It makes no sense??? (Once again, it appears that Isuzu didn't seriously care about marketing this vehicle, from any vantage point, whether it was price or features.)
