Yeah, most Isuzu's sold in the US were just rebadged Chevy's anyway, Not sure if they even made any of their own cars.

In Japan Toyota sold the Cavalier, same name just with Toyota Badges instead of Bowties. Made in Ohio....Hmmmm I wonder if the import tuner clubs in Japan had tricked out Cavaliers!
