Someone else told me about the autoweek mention, if anyone can post it that would be great.

Just me specualating, I think the Trooper will debut in Thailand in mid to late 2005, then Japan in 2006 as it says, and here in mid to late 2006 as a 2007 model. That fits in just right seeing as Isuzus contract with GM has the Ascender being built only through the 2006 model year, so this info seems pretty relaible.
