Topic: OGB 3 Related Caribe 442 and Mini Cord from Venezuela

[Oguerrerob]

Name those cars and how are they related?

[mymokke]

Isuzu Trooper SUV and Mini Cooper MK III = same 0-60 times. ( 10.4 - 10.6 +/- .2)

I think it bmight be that both of these cars are not manufactured where we think they are.

It might be the Minicord from Venezuela and a locally assembled Isuzu in Ecuador?

[Oguerrerob]

Mini Cord it is! first step. But not Isuzu Trooper

[Aaron65]

Is it an Isuzu Caribe 442 from Venezuela?  Therefore, they'd both be from Venezuela?

[Oguerrerob]

Yes!! You've got them. Isuzu brand never were used in Venezuela. In fact, the Caribe 442 factory also produced Mack trucks.

I don't know how to include the film, but there is a Youtube commercial clearly showing a different logo. wow!

[Oguerrerob]

One point for Autogids and two points for Aaron 65.

[DeAutogids]

[DeAutogids]

Indeed!

[Oguerrerob]

Yes, You can see the Isuzu logo, (just the logo in front) but was the introductory model, as you can see in the video never talk about the Isuzu brand. I agree that it's an Isuzu Trooper but Caribe 442 was from the Mack trucks factory as an independent brand. In Venezuela, Isuzu brand never has been sold.

It seems they do nowadays: http://www.isuzu.co.jp/world/distributor/s_america.html
