My Ideal Isuzu Line Up

Here are some ideas I have for Isuzu:

New-gen Rodeo and Rodeo Sport($16,000-$20,000)
*250hp V-6 engines
*5-speed auto
*Keep similar design aspects from last generation

New-gen Trooper to replace Ascender(flagship SUV)($25,000-$32,000)
*300+hp V-8 engine
*Three rows of seats
*5-speed auto

Sedan(about Impreza sized)($16,000-$20,000)
*With a 250hp engine
*5-speed auto or man.
*5-door model

Larger Sedan(about Legacy/Outback sized)($22,000-$27,000)
*I think this would be awesome
*275hp V-6
*slightly higher ground clearence(than other sedans) for AWD

Crossover Vehicle(yes, that's right)($25,000-$30,000)
*Based on large sedan
*Hybrid version also
*V-6 and battery
*5-speed(man or auto) or CVT

Next-gen Axiom($25,000)
*Same design
*Possible Larger size and available 3rd-row seating

And a new-gen VehiCross($23,000)

Pickup Truck Based on Rodeo and another one based on Trooper.($17,000-$30,000)

All vehicals come with standard 4WD or AWD


Bummer Isuzu might disappear because I love the Rodeo Sport!
That is my ideal Isuzu Line Up.

I noticed that. Maybe if you added the Isuzu Line Up in your posts, people may actually realize it. Or maybe no one likes me or Isuzu

Re: My Ideal Isuzu Line Up

Isuzu is just pretty much dead, and the chances of them coming back with an 9 vehicle lineup is virtually, if not totally, impossible.

Subaru has the 4wd car market segment already wrapped up.
In your scenario, Isuzu would need to go head to the with Subaru.
Small - Impreza, Medium - Legacy, Crossover - Forester.

What could Isuzu possibly bring to the table that Subaru doesn't have already?

Aside from the poor selling Vehicross, Isuzu has never thought outside the box style wise.

A company like Isuzu definitiely would not require a full vehicle line up. A few outstanding vehicles is what they need.

Hmmm... you've got a good point there... blogger, there's something to take into consideration...
Although, would these be for American market, or mainly foreign market?

haha, well, you could always just not have Isuzu in America, and have it in other markets... or you could take his suggestion and make more limited products... or let Isuzu die... hmm... choices, choices, huh?

Re: My Ideal Isuzu Line Up

It's time to face the fact that Isuzu might never come back, and if they do, good for them, but if I want a rugged AWD/4WD car, I'll go with Subaru. Best chance for Isuzu to come back to the US is to purchase Isuzu myself and design the cars, selling, and everything else for them. lol.
