十大归于尘土的汽车品牌

2008年：五十铃

    五十铃（Isuzu）于1981年以名为P’up的小卡车打入美国市场，之后又推出了Rodeo和Trooper多用途运载车，并随着运动型多功能车（SUV）的繁荣，于1996年达到了销量顶峰。不过五十铃质量较差，还缺乏市场智慧，加上一些古怪的产品决策（建立在载重汽车底盘上的双门汽车VehiCROSS只能被形容为“雄心勃勃的笨家伙”），注定了它的成功非常短暂。五十铃首先退出了客车领域，之后是SUV和小卡车。它在美国出售的最后两款车出自通用之手，而当通用决定停产它们时，也就是五十铃在美国的安息之日了。

2008: Isuzu

    Isuzu entered the U.S. market in 1981 with a mini-pickup named P'up, added the Rodeo and Trooper utility vehicles, and rode the SUV boom to a sales peak in 1996. But poor quality and lack of market smarts, along with some bizarre product decisions (The two-door VehiCROSS built on a truck chassis could only be described as "aggressively clumsy") made its success short-lived. Isuzu first exited passenger cars and then, model-by-model, SUVs and pickups. Its last two vehicles sold in the U.S. were built by GM, and when GM decided not to make them any longer, it was R.I.P. for Isuzu in the U.S.
