From Todays Automotive News:

NEW ORLEANS -- Isuzu dealers will get a version of the GMC Canyon pickup beginning in July, the company told dealers here on Monday.

The company also said that U.S. dealers will not get a compact SUV from Thailand that had been expected for the 2007 model year.

The 2006 Isuzu pickup will come in two versions, a 4x2 extended cab with a 2.8-liter I4 engine and a 4x4 four-door cab with a 3.5-liter I5.

Production numbers and pricing will be announced at the New York auto show in March.

Isuzu is not bringing the SUV from Thailand because it will not be profitable, said Terry Maloney, president of Isuzu Motors America Inc.

Maloney also told dealers that Isuzu will develop a new diesel engine in the 3-liter class that will be sold in the United States. No date has been set for the diesel.


News about the SUV sucks. At least we can get a diesel (in something).
