Todays Press Release from Isuzu

[Joe_Black]

Question is, with the 12% ownership of Isuzu that GM held now gone, WHY did Isuzu decide to help GM design their pickup?

They're just milking GM to keep their name in the publics face until they return with they're own lineup (can you say turbo diesels?) for 2007. Then GM gets kicked to the curb! w00t! Heh, most don't know the last batch of Rodeos and Troopers were assembled by Subaru.

This is the look to be sold in the States:

Okay, here's the DMax lineup that will eventually make it here...




And a few of the other SUV models slated to make their US deput upon the official return of Isuzu to these shores (rather than rebadged recall-generating GM garbage)...

I like 'em, I hope that Isuzu has the sense to offer them with a V8 though.

V8? Nope, intercooled turbodiesels! You gotta remember that Isuzu makes the worlds best diesels.

[mbeach]

You and I both know that, but it has been proven time and again that Americans are not ready for diesels.

If they want to ever be hot sellers they have to offer the consumer (the perception of) power.

I suppose we can let the Liberty's new CR diesel test the waters first.
