Official: Isuzu Abandons North American Passenger Vehicle Market

We had been hearing various rumours about Isuzu leaving the North American market the past few months, but now its officially-official; as from January 31, 2009, Isuzu will stop distributing new passenger vehicles in North America. Although the Japanese carmaker will cease supplying passenger vehicles, they will however continue to provide service support to their customer base and dealers for years to come. -Continued after the jump

In the official press release, Isuzu Motors America said it is leaving the North American market because General Motors may discontinue the Ascender Sport Utility Vehicle, and the i-290 and i-370 pickup trucks in the near future. Of course, the fact that Isuzu’s sales in the States fell from 103,997 units in 1999 to 7,098 in 2007 may have something to do with that decision.

Geneva Preview: 2008 Renault Twingo RS

European consumers searching for an affordable hot hatch will soon be able to add one more car to their list as Renault today took the wraps off the long-awaited Twingo RenaultSport (RS for short). Inspired from the Twingo Concept that was unveiled at the 2006 Paris Motor Show, the Twingo RS car slots into the Renaultsport range alongside its bigger sister cars, Clio and Megane RS.

Apart from the relatively aggressive bodykit that includes wide fenders, new front and rear bumpers along with larger alloy-rims, the Twingo RS also features a new 1.6-liter engine delivering 133 HP along with various chassis refinements (suspension, brakes etc.). Unfortunately, that’s all Renault decided to share with us for the time being. We’ll have more on the new Twingo RS closer to the car’s debut at the 2008 Geneva Show in early March. -Image gallery after the jump

Although we tried to send as many e-mails as we could, we reckon that it’s just better to let you download wallpaper versions of the picture straight from our blog. The image above is 800x600, but if you follow the jump, we’ve added the most common PC/Laptop wallpaper sizes along with one that’s 1800x1350. -Continued
