Isuzu Piazza / Impulse

Here is an Isuzu Piazza (Impulse in the US), first generation, abandoned or at least unmoved for a long time.


As I said, this is a first-generation Isuzu Piazza and a JDM version too, i.e. the car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro who had a free rein over the design. The result of his effort was the wedge-shaped three-door hatchback called the Asso di Fiori ("Ace of Clubs") prototype and show car that was then put into production by Isuza practically unchanged.


Wikipedia says...

The Isuzu Piazza is a small, sporty 3-door liftback coupé which was manufactured by Isuzu from 1981 to 1992 in two generations. The Isuzu Piazza was marketed as the Isuzu Impulse in North America and as the Holden Piazza in Australia.
The first generation Impulse was a rear-wheel drive car.
As of 2010, the number of registered Impulses totaled only 2,300, making Impulses very rare. The car was produced in very low numbers, totaling slightly over 13,000 units.


So this seems like a rare find.







And here is that famous Isuzu Piazza dash and instrument cluster - what's left of it.
