2. Isuzu VehiCross
Not too long ago, Isuzu SUVs were pretty common and respected in America. During the `80s and `90s, thanks to cooperation with General Motors, Isuzu sold numerous models on the American market which gained a reputation for being durable and dependable vehicles.
However, Isuzu realized that the future is in SUV models and the early `90s decided to produce a totally new and highly capable lifestyle model called VehiCross. Behind this strange name was an even stranger vehicle which was only sold in the three-door specifications, only with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and automatic transmission. Isuzu designed the VehiCross to be a totally modern and even futuristic off-roader and gave it its best all-terrain technology and components. But, in 1997 when the VehiCross was introduced, the market just didn`t react the way it should. The vehicle was pretty strange looking, some say it was very ugly and it came in crossover form but in fact, it was very capable and quality built off-roader. That is why the US sales were pretty slow and in 2001 the VehiCross was discontinued.
