Isuzu is currently the world's biggest manufacturer of diesel engines. The 1.9-litre Ddi Blue Power engine is one of the most reliable engines today and their line-up only consists of pick-up trucks and, occasionally an SUV. But there was a time when Isuzu made cars. Like regular cars. Isuzu’s car history was pretty much a mixed bag. The company was first established in 1916 as Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., Ltd. It started using the Isuzu name from 1949 and its first passe

If you’re a fan of Mitsubishi and 4x4s, you are probably saddened by news of Mitsubishi announcing the end of production of the Pajero in 2021. Right now is probably not a good time to be a Mitsubishi fan. The Eclipse name was revived on a crossover and sales of Mitsubishis are dwindling to the point they're exiting European markets while focusing more on ASEAN markets. The Pajero being killed off in favour of Outlanders might be the final nail in the coffin but please bear with me. The Pajero i

Ah, 1980s Japan, where the Bubble Era is thriving and some funky, awesome music genre filled bars and lounges across Tokyo called city pop. This was also a period where hardtop sedans ruled the Japanese car market. At the same time, as Japan’s economy was bubbling, so were the salaries of your average Japanese salaryman. Obviously, their choice of rides would be a Toyota Mark II or a Nissan Laurel with velour fabric seats. But there was a left-field choice for those who wanted to stand out from
