OK. 1991 Isuzu Impulse XS wagonback. Unknown how many were made, but certainly it's only a few thousand maximum. I have never come across an American who owned one, so I think these may have only been sold in Canada. Until last year, even the tires were stock! Currently has 96,000 km on the odo.

Specs: 1588cc DOHC 16V 4-cylinder. 130 hp @ 6800 rpm and 102 lb-ft @ 4600 rpm. Dual intake runners just like our Duratecs, open at 4600 rpm. Redline 7700 rpm. Fuel cut off 8100 rpm.

Suspension and steering were jointly developed by Lotus Engineering in the UK and Isuzu. Engine and transmission is shared with the 1991-95 Lotus Elan. Lotus has helped tune many cars' chassis, but the Isuzus are the only cars other than Lotii to ever wear Lotus badges.
