New Isuzu Piazza?

Post by Piazza_man »

Could this be coming soon? Could Isuzu be resurrecting the dead?
Check it out. Anyone seen this before?

That is a Skoda concept, http://www.netcarshow.com/skoda/2011-design_concept/
I doubt they will ever make a performance RWD car again though, but who knows, never is a LONG time..
But if VW did buy a stake they would have Giorgetto Giugiaro's resources to use since VW bought out his company.

Interesting idea. Thanks ghost. Although I'd have to say the concept is not as special and unique as the original Guigiaro Piazza design. Looks a little too generic to me, and certainly not as interesting as the designs I had in mind.

The word was Isuzu would resurrect 2 oldies.
One was tipped to be the Bellett GT Type-R for sure, but the other was debatable.

Some though the 4200R, but that never made production. Same for the MX-1600.

I'd argue the Florian continued (as Aska through to SAAB).

Hence maybe the 117 or the Piazza.


I like the thought of a Piazza re-release as it is a real fingers-up to GM. Plus it might draw attention to how advanced Isuzu was at that stage (looking more at the 1980 digi-dash twincam with its revolutionary door catches and other things we now take for granted).

LOL. That was going back to the late 1990s, maybe early 20s.
I think their puppet President is no longer, but I'm not sure how much subsequent events have changed things (eg, the Toyota exchange; what were they thinking?!!).
