It won't.  The GM and Isuzu relationship ended not long after the Mux was released. The next generation Isuzu due for release later this year is designed and built in conjunction with Mazda.

For the current models. Both Isuzu and GM by law must provide parts for the next 10 years.

Be interesting where all the Colorado buyers will go.  If it spread over all the brands or all head towards one.

If we are lucky, they'll all move from everywhere in the country to Labrador, Southport, Palm Beach, Nerang, Molendinar and Silver Bridle Park in Qld!  :evil6:

I owned a few (for transport, more than fun) including HB Torana (my first car), HG Kingswood Ute, HQ Belmont Van, a Camira (company car), & a VN Commodore Exec (I needed a tow car in a hurry when I upgraded the boat).

My favourite was the HG Ute (5.0 V8, Trau-matic with factory bench seat).
It bought it in my early twenties & toured a lot of the NT, outback Qld, & Western NSW with very few maintenance issues.

Looks like most vehicle purchases will now be limited to Asian or American manufacterers.

Personally, I’m happy with the MUX  but if the Lotto man ever calls, I’d consider a 200 series with all the candy.......

Not me.

A lotto win would see me in a Landrover.
Not the crappy range rover, but the real deal.

But thats never gonna happen.
So ill stick with my lovely MUX.
