I predict Isuzu will be gone within the next couple of years or so. Suzuki I fell will make a turn around. I don't feel it will be sufficient enough to bring there sales up close to the top brands, but it will be enough for them to sustain a place in the US market. With the new Grand Vitara, the next gen Daewoos, and I am really hoping they bring the Swift over here, they should do just fine.
And to answer your question from the other thread Mr. Burns:
I do like Hyundai, but I wouldn't just yet call me a fan of theirs. I do like their new designs (Tucson, Sonata), and their vehicles seem to be getting better with each redesign. Who knows, maybe I will end up in a Hyundai one day. Well I will next year, but I mean beyond that, depending on my experiences with the brand.
I still prefer Ford/GM (Ford more specifically) over other brands, and still support them, but I still like imports as well, and if I felt there was an import to better suit my tastes over a domestic, I would take it in a minute. I would not hold myself in one brand, or solely in domestics or imports.
My sigs will switch between domestics and imports.
Your post really made me laugh
