Fair Well Holden Rodeo... Hello Holden Colorado?

[1991_Vn2nV]

As GM have sold their share in ISUZU, Holden are no longer able to use the Rodeo nameplate.

The current Rodeo will get a facelift this year, to last until it is replaced in 2010 by the Holden Colorado.

The Holden Colorado will be imported from Brazil, which may push up prices or cut Holdens profit margins as we do not have a free trade agreement with Brazil.

But interestingly, ISUZU will enter the Australian market with their own version of the Rodeo called the D-Max and they will be partnering with Mitsubishi here in Australia (as Mitsu own 13% of Isuzu).

the new model rodeo is already out... and its not as "americanised" as the pictures there... its the same as the last model but with bigger headlights... the interior on the other hand is completely different and actually looks good for a change.

I like that thing. The name sucks but I like the look of it from those photos.

Apart from the horrible grille, it doesn't look too bad.

I was told they came out the worst in the crash safety test - not sure if it's true though. I was looking at them a few weeks ago...very nice.
