Isuzu Motors America, Inc., announced today that it will make significant improvements to its line of award-winning pickups and SUVs for the 2007 model year-while keeping prices unchanged from 2006. The i-280 and i-350 Pickups are replaced by the i-290 and i-370, a nod to their new, more powerful 2.9- and 3.7-liter engines, while the Ascender sport utility vehicle gets a new tire pressure monitoring system and a variety of appearance upgrades.

ò 3.7-liter inline five-cylinder engine replaces 3.5-liter, increasing horsepower to 242 hp (from 220) and torque to 242 ft.-lbs. (vs. 225)
My Isuzu Built 3.5 DI gets 250 hp, 250 ft-lbs torque, and better mileage. Go to Isuzu engines! (and probably better emissions)
