WTH is this? I knew that Subaru and Isuzu had a plant in America together, but this is a JDM car!!!

The Isuzu Geminett-II is a rebadged Subaru Leone

Subaru ended any ties with Isuzu in december of 2002

Yep... The Isuzu Aska in the early 90s was a rebadged EJ20 N/A Legacy. Later generations of the Aska were rebadged Honda Accords, I believe.

Isuzu does a lot of this kind of wheeling and dealing. The Honda Passport and Isuzu Rodeo are the same truck built by Isuzu. The Acura SLX is a rebadged Isuzu Trooper. The Isuzu Oasis is a rebadged Honda Odyssey. The Geo Storm is a rebadged Isuzu Impulse. Isuzu Hombres are rebadged Chevy S-10s.

Is that climate control in the heater section, or just a really unusual digital clock?

vrg3, I was fully aware of every name-sharing example you mentioned. Don't forget the new Isuzu Ascender and the Chevy Trailblazer/GMC Envoy/Olds Bravada...

But that's because these are all US examples

I was thinkin the same thing as ciper for a minute, I thought my link was a photoshop... But I guess not

I think all JDM Legacies have the auto climate control, so yes that's what that is...

Oh yeah, good call on the Ascender...

The only reason I knew about the Aska was because it's a Subaru. :) It was sold in Russia. I didn't know it was sold in Japan.

Did Isuzu go back to the Legacy, or is this photoshop?

Photoshop - Look at the grille.

Isuzu hasn't had any ties with Subaru for a while now.

It wasn't the grill that shouted photochop as much as the license plate.

Oh well. Still worth adding to the thread.

I wish I had some of those parts to put on my 93 BC....that would throw people off something fierce.

More old thread resurrection! I love it!

Here's some pics I found of the Isuzu Geminett-II that ciper mentioned...

THat's probably the worst rebadge job I've ever seen. It even still has the Subaru 4WD font on the tailgate!

Pretty sweet mirrors though.
