A bit of an Isuzu slant in my guilty pleasures list ... starting with the Pizza, a car I've always liked the look of, though the dynamics came in for some criticism:



The Gemini, which I always thought is what a shrunk Volvo should look like ...

A sure, here's an A610 to look at

Prefer the previous incarnation though, between the A310 and this ... nae fond of pop up lights.
