Mitsubishi, Isuzu kandidato sa pagsasara

[Bry]

Isn't Isuzu partly owned by GM now?

[Heretic]

Is Isuzu receiving royalties from GMC for their Duramax engines and platform?

[MAXBUWAYA]

Mitsubishi should bring the Almighty L300 FB and versa van to the United States of War freak people

[eggman]

May Isuzu na based sa Chevy Colorado called I-350/I280 series:

Ano kaya kung may Alterra version nyan sa U.S?ASTIG YAN!

[A121]

so.. magkakaroon na ng brand new na lancer? lancer based pa rin ba ang evo?

[Bogeyman]

I guess, if Mitsubishi is still referring to them as 'Lancers'. Probably same name, new platform.

[niky]

Yup... the old Lancer platform is officially going to retire... thank God they're getting new stuff...

The new Isuzus are merely re-badges (badge-engineered) and evolutions of old platforms. It's the slow death for Isuzu in the pickup/SUV market (it's been dead to the car market for decades anyway)... a fate it shares with a lot of GM "badges".

At least when Ford does "badge-engineering", they keep the basic design philosophy and engineering teams for each sub-unit, so none of the platform-sharers ends up looking like a carbon copy of the other... well, SOME of the time (Focus, Mazda3, S40), but others (Escape-Tribute, Lynx-Protege, Ford-Mercury-Lincoln anything) are kind of lazy. Still, most Ford products have enough definition to survive. GM's got a lot of baggage... and they're killing some of the small brands they bought out through sheer mismanagement (Saab, Isuzu, Daewoo)... egh.
