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

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

[Isuzu] had absolutely nothing to do with the Ascender. It's just a Trailblazer that gets Isuzu stickers at the end of the assembly line

...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.
