11. Honda Crossroad (First Generation, 1993-1998)
The original Honda Crossroad was Honda’s answer to Japan’s surging SUV market—a rebadged Isuzu Trooper adapted for Honda’s domestic customers.

The Crossroad’s reliability and capability highlighted Isuzu’s behind-the-scenes influence, expanding Honda’s lineup at a pivotal time.
