Todays Press Release from Isuzu

I kind of like the look of the new Chevy Colorado so the new Isuzu Pickup doesn't bother me in that respect...just disappointed they aren't willing to do their own thing (like the VX) to try and break the mold and get some attention. Look at all the attention Honda is getting with the new Ridgeline Pickup! Isuzu will never garner special attention if it keeps relying on it's GM partnership. I still can't believe they dropped the Axiom in favor of keeping the Ascender?????????

I agree 100% with what you are trying to say...however....
look at what happened to Isuzu and the VX when they did "break the mold".
Unfortunatly when you "break the mold" you usually "break the bank" too and that's what happens way too often. The old AMC (American Motors Corp.) Gremlin/Hornet/Javelin/Matador ...comes to mind. As well as the Chevy Vega. Styling and or technical products which were way ahead of their time...JUST LIKE OUR BELOVED VX.

I am just sad that they discontinued the Rodeo in 2004. Say what you will about Isuzu...but that Rodeo is one sweet,tough little SOB.

While we are on the subject of trucks here...check out this brute.
It's the chinese version of the Isuzu...called "Great Wall".
Stylin'...would not mind one of these beauties myself.

I have an idea how you can get one here, in the US... go to a Nissan dealer and look at a used Frontier. That thing looks exactly like the past model Frontier. I don't know how Isuzu played a part in that one.

I love how it says, a return to its roots....HAHA right, they took the Cheby colorado and put a different grill on it....

and yea, thats a frontier, you can buy em at any nissan dealership. And im pretty sure that they dont market them as Izuzu's, they're still nissan.
