Isuzu · 1981–1993
Isuzu Piazza
The Isuzu Piazza is a small, sporty 3-door liftback coupé which was manufactured by Isuzu from 1981–1993 across two generations, marketed also as the Isuzu Impulse in North America and as the Holden Piazza in Australia. The first generation Piazza used rear-wheel drive and in the United Kingdom it was the first widely available Isuzu passenger car. The second generation used front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and was marketed as the lower-priced Gemini Coupé and as the Geo Storm in the US market. As of 2010, the number of registered Impulses in North America totaled only 2,300, making Impulses very rare.
