Isuzu cars disppeared a few years ago, the pickup is gone (now just an S-10 with an Isuzu badge stuck on it). If the Trooper becomes a rebadged full size and the Rodeo a re-badged Envoy, how long before there's nothing available actually made by Isuzu.<P>I have nothing againest GM, my second car is a Buick, but I can't anything good about reduced choices.<P>Don't believe me? Go down to Mazda dealer and try to buy a truck that's actually built by Mazda. They are all rebadged Fords.<P>IMHO<P>Paul<P>
