We had 2 Isuzu Troopers for winter vehicles and they both drove really good but they would never stopped leaking oil.

In the 80's, Izusu sold the subcompact I-Mark sedan and Impulse sport coupe here in America......variations of the platform were also marketed as the Chevy Spectrum and Geo Storm.
Later, in the 90s, Isuzu struck up a buisness deal with Honda/Acura where the Rodeo and Trooper were rebadged as the Honda Passport and Acura SLX. In return, Isuzu got rebadged versions of the Honda Civic to market in Japan as their new Izuzu I-Mark....by then, Isuzu had given up designing their own passenger cars, and the new, Civic-based I-Mark was never marketed in America.

Well this is a big non-event.
Sad to think though... their old advertising was hilarious.

Yes, it actually won a big comparo in C&D when the new Trooper back in the early 90s debuted.
