Isuzu had manufacturing facilities in US. Otherwise they will take 50K cash and 25K voucher for new car and work as hourly employees (well the rest of the country).

Its also rightly styled. I guess I'm not seeing the value, because I have no need for this vehicle. However, I did see a version of this jacked up monster-truck style, and I dreamed I had that kind of money. A4, I understand the usefulness of the truck. Its also rightly styled.

This is a bad move, long term. Dragging your feet or just refusing to bring, clearly winning product to market is the problem. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR 10 YEARS FOR THE GOOD STUFF TO COME OUT IF IT EVER DOES? Stop jerking us around and build the good stuff already! Even a 5 year old concept car, which most of your homework is done on, would be at least a couple of years ahead of the curve when it is out. I WANT MY ULTRA WTCC! Commercial trucks are not at issue.

Hay Don. if you read this, we don't miss you....

The best suitable replacement is the MH-60. Which for a head of state is extremely uncomfortable. Not enough headroom.
