They made them with Chevy 2.8l V6s. I've been toying with the idea of swapping in a newer engine from that line.

I've seen them here, sadly, they cost atleast $130,000aud new, the biggest ute you can get here for a regular price is a colorado, i thought for you that would be atleast "medium-sized"

To be honest, the current and prior Colorado are almost as large as a full size Silverado or F150, similar width and wheelbase, just smaller interior dimensions.

"Real" compact trucks died when the domestic Ranger production ended, International ranger is Colorado sized.
FWD utes aren't trucks, pickups, or otherwise

It's funny to think now the styling and general purpose of the Vehicross was the progenitor to all modern CUVs.

The Lexus RX series may have made them luxurious and the AMC Eagle may have toyed with the concept but the Vehicross was the one that defined the styling for the rest to come.

The Isuzu Impulse was sold as the Holden Piazza here, and it was ONLY sold in Turbo form. So there are probably a few still floating around...

Isuzu cars are very rare in the States too. The only things really left are the rebadged GM trucks they sold under the Isuzu name. Shame really.

Piazza's here tended to suffer because no one really bought many of them.
The brakes where pretty rubbish for a turbo car (one hard use and its cooked!) and the suspension was never tweaked to deal with the power it was throwing through the front hoops. So it would tramp, hop and torque steer its way to glory (ie- nearest tree, gutter or ditch)

Full-size pickups are inexplicably cheap in the US and Canada. A lot of people find it hard to justify a compact because of it.

As far as I know they made pretty decent small diesels that could be found from European GM products. Possibly the best Japanese diesels? A early 90's Vectra with 1.7-liter diesel would go on forever.

A meme (/ˈmiːm/ meem) is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture".

So shut up you stupid redditor.

mmmmm love me some VehiCROSS.

I grew up seeing these fairly often in South eastern PA and when I moved to Baltimore I saw a few as well. I never knew they only made 4,153 for the US market until recently.
