    Well.... Lemme explain.

    GM owns alot of Isuzu, and are now slipping silently into bed with Honda (as evident by the Mastertech and Tech II scantools [the first a heavily GM aftermarket scanner, and the second a GM dealership scanner] able to provide proprietory engine data). Now, both the Isuzu Trooper and Honda Passport are the exact same vehicle, all the way down to the GM Map sensors, EGR valves, IAC motors... well, everything computer related. Just like the Isuzu PUP in the early 90s was using a GM 4 cylinder and all engine controlls. Essencially it was an S10 with Isuzu on it

    So, somewhat to answer your question. Both are seperate entities, but the Isuzu line of trucks is slowly bleeding into the Honda line, through GM components. I suspect before too long we will see the Isuzu and Honda truck lines becoming the same thing.

    it still does not matter

    If you buying a Car based on how well it hold value

    well you dont need ot be buying a car

    a car is not a Investment for the Furture

    A car is a something to get you around, and to have fun with sometimes

    ALL CARS lose value, and 60-70% of that lose occurs in the first 5 years........[/b][/quote]
    All I'm saying is that Nissan, Honda, and Toyota make economy cars and family sedans that are worth a little more when you go to trade them in. Don't get me wrong, I love American cars. If I could have any 10 cars I want- all 10 would be american.

    I could be wrong, but I don't think there's such a thing as a Malibu SS. A Malibu is kind of a luxury trim level for the Chevelle, and an SS is the high-performance trim level. Again I could be wrong...
