Replying to: andre1969 (May 28, 2008 11:58 am) Speaking of Isuzu, I find it interesting that they were on the rise in 1986 with their Trooper, which I liked with the boxy military styling. You could even get one back then with a turbodiesel . They managed over the years to come out with the wrong idea at the wrong time until , near the end , they were rebadging Chevy Trailblazers for Isuzu Ascenders..

Replying to: steelydan (May 28, 2008 1:06 pm) In 1993, when I finished college and got hired full-time, I went through a phase where I wanted an SUV. I looked at the Pathfinder, 4Runner, Blazer, Explorer, Rodeo, and Trooper, and probably one or two I'm forgetting now. I stayed away from the bigger ones because I didn't think I could afford one at the time. I'd say my favorite was the Pathfinder...it just had a rugged, cool sort of feel that I liked. My only issue was that you couldn't get a power sunroof with it. I didn't like the Rodeo because it just seemed too cheap, but I was impressed with the Trooper. I especially liked its mammoth sunroof. In the end though, I stuck it out with my '68 Dart 318. None of those SUV's handled as well or took off as fast. And sadly, fuel economy wasn't much better.
