The reason for all of this- Isuzu has announced they are cutting all ties with GM and will be completely severed by 2007. I think they are tired of being a red headed stepchild to GM, and the take take take (Duramax, Canyon, etc, etc) and getting nothing but limited release from them. The all new Trooper will be out then, since the A$$ender bellyflopped. They finally learned their lesson. I think this is the first good news from Isuzu since the VX!!!
