cool pic of VX catching mad air

Biju...That'll give you a pretty good idea of what your fender mirror will look like on the dragon. It also appears that it might add about 90 horsepower and decrease your overall weight by about 400 lbs.

That's just my interpretation.

Don't hate - appreciate.

Only reason I bought the fender mirror is because I was told it would make my VX stupid fast! But the FACT that it will make my VX extremely light is just another *bonus*!! Man, what a deal...



-beeej.

god, Isuzus rock. It is a shame that GM bought them, a company that recently filed for bankruptcy, and are going to eventually, in the not too distant future, phase out the Isuzus. Or at least, as a good GM-employee friend of mine thinks, they will phase out all original Isuzu designs. Which they kinda already have. All they have now are trailblazers and colorados with isuzu badges, iirc.

I believe that Colorados are actually rebadged Izusu's instead of the other way around.

So will Isuzu go back to great styling or stick with the bland Ascender look?

They had absolutely nothing to do with the Ascender. It's just a Trailblazer that gets Isuzu stickers at the end of the assembly line, plain and simple.

Oh, it's also responsible for the only recall to ever be issued against Isuzu. Which really is an injustice since they didn't design or manufacture the abomination. GMAC = Grotesquely Misengineered American Cars.

Are you serious? Coz I have a colorado...and got it at the end of '04 and the i350, or whatever the heck they call it, just came out, in this market at least, less than a year ago.

So Isuzu is now 100% GM free, although they still do business with them

...sooo, which is it?

The business they continue in revolves around the Colorado/i350 and diesel engines. But they do it at their own discretion and are not beholden to GM.

As for the Ascender, I can't verify this but my understanding is that there are contractual obligations and Isuzu wants to maintain some type of market presence until their plan unfolds.

ahhh...makes sense.

I am not in love with the ascender, but for what you pay it is one heck of a vehicle. Around here, with rebates, you can get a brand new 06 that has leather, 6disc, nice trim, 7 seater for under 24k. Seems like a good presense to keep in the market.
