We've speculated for a couple years that the Landwind is the new Chinese manufacturer for Isuzu China....especially given their exact clone looks of the Amigo and now the Rodeo.

We've also seen the crash test info on the LandWind version of the Rodeo, along with the pictures of how it crumpled.

Here's the scoop I just stumbled across. Remember that Isuzu's vehicles are sold in Europe under GM's Opel or Vauxall brand names, IIRC. Thus the GM reference. (yeah, my spelling stinks today)

JiangLing Landwind 4x4
If you're a Chinese car maker with ambitions to flood Western markets with your products, it's not a good idea to score very low marks in road safety tests. The Chinese-built JiangLing Landwind 4x4 suffered an abjectly poor crash test performance in Germany, providing very poor protection to its driver and passengers in front, side or rear end impacts. It has since reportedly modified its design to address these problems, but reports also say the car maker may face legal action -- its SUV is strikingly similar to one GM sold in Europe.
