Isuzu should have brought over their international catalog instead of rebadging GM vehicles. The MU-7 and the diesel powered DMax would have done better than the Ascender.
GM needs to stop neglecting Isuzu. Isuzu has always made magnificent vehicles, especially the Rodeo and the Trooper. Even though they rebadged many vehicles, it was still right, and the design actually looked different. I love Isuzu and please don't phase them out of North America, GM. Otherwise, I will move to Japan and buy me a Isuzu.
Im an Isuzu lover myself, but dude get with the time, Isuzu has been pulled out of the US market since January 31st, 2009. Its very hard to find a Ascender or any of the Isuzu I-series pickups. Rodeos remain the most common but even they are gettin hard to find.
Isuzu HAS BEEN DEAD since the beginning of 2009! And The Colorado/Canyon is NOT being discontinued. You need to catch up with the news, that shit your saying is from like 2008. This is 2010. Isuzu is long gone and the Colorado is now being redesigned not discontinued. The Trailblazer and its cousins have been gone since Isuzu left the market a year and some ago.
compared to the trailblazer the izusu version is much better done inside and out and i like the styling cues both in/out better on the izusu version anyway! just like the saab 9-7x
I have a 2007 Isuzu Ascender and I love it. I've had a Trailblazer but I find the Ascender more like the GMC Envoy than the Trailblazer they keep saying. I don't have mine serviced at an Isuzu dealer I have it serviced at a GMC dealership and it's just fine. Hell everything on it is GM so why not. But for warranty based repairs it must go to Isuzu to have it covered by warranty.
Sad to say that the Isuzu brand will no longer be sold to the US. Since the new Isuzu's are based on the other GM products, would it be possible to service or maintain one at either a Chevy or GMC dealer? I thought I once heard that it was possible.
Yes you can have the Ascender serviced at a GMC dealer. Everything that goes into building the Ascender is GM. I have an 07 Ascender and I service mine at a GMC dealership but for warranty is has to go to Isuzu certified dealership.
This looks exactly like my truck. I didn't even pay $20k because it had 300 miles on it already from test drives. The 4.2L engine has been on AutoWeek's top ten for three years. The interior is more like the GMC Envoys, too. The TrailBlazer versions feel and look cheap. The Ascender doesn't.

@DriveSVT last time I checked, when Chevrolet and GMC phases out its small pick up model (Canyon model), Isuzu will officially be dead.

And, if it wasn't for Isuzu, GM wouldn't have drug themselves through the '70s? Doesn't anyone remember the LUV trucks or the Geo Storm?
