One would ponder that it's better to invest in re-tooling NOW(well, 20 years ago) than to be left holding the bag when gas prices rise. I mean, who didn't predict gas prices would rise? I understand that it's expensive. Sacrifice some profit during the 90s and be done with it. Now they may go out. Well, tough nuggies. Toyota, Honda, Isuzu et. al. make better cars that get better mileage. Is this any mystery? Reminds me of the girl on Mad TV that holds her hands up to her ears and say "la la la la la" when anyone tries to talk to her.
Isuzu doesn't make any vehicles for this market....FYI
