Izusu Announces Truck, Minivan Deals: American Isuzu Motors Inc. will expand into the U.S. pickup and minivan markets early next year through separate collaborations with General Motors Corp. and Honda Motor Co. American Isuzu, the U.S. marketing arm of Japan’s Isuzu Motors Ltd., said it will sell a compact pickup assembled by GM in Shreveport, La. The body stampings will be supplied by GM’s Brazilian unit. GM owns 37.5% of Isuzu, which said in early 1993 that it would stop making cars and instead concentrate on sport utility vehicles and trucks. As expected, Isuzu also announced an arrangement with Honda under which Honda will supply Isuzu with a version of its Honda Odyssey minivan.
