there's no Y in the Isuzu Trooper's pitchman's name.

@whattheheck1000 Noted & Corrected...Thanks.

[DarkCloak]

I have observed that myself. They were anomalous that way.

[gshowguy]

Did they ever do a local version of the campaign?

[DarkCloak]

From what I vaguely recall, they did. I'll have to dig around and see if I can find something to post.

[Brettfern]

There's Joe Isuzu!

The interior of that "new and exciting" 1989 Pontiac Grand Am is disgusting and boring.

I'm so glad those days are gone.  Cars were horrible in those days.

[whattheheck1000]

@at90percent it was new and exciting in 1989. today it sucks.

[at90percent]

@whattheheck1000 Yeah I know, but I wouldn't want to have to market that garbage and call it new and exciting when is blocky and plasticy (I know, not a word).

[whattheheck1000]

@at90percent It's called marketing.
