American Isuzu Motors: Trooper, Rodeo Smash Sales Record

    CERRITOS, Calif.--(AutomotiveWire)--Oct. 5, 1999--American Isuzu Motors Inc.'s SUV division charged into its traditionally strong fall selling season with sensational sales performances from Rodeo and Trooper.
    The new-gen Rodeo had its best retail sales month ever in September 1999, rocketing well past the model's previous record set in August, with a total of 6,732 units sold. Sales are up 56% over last September and this is the first time the new-gen Rodeo has sold more than 6,000 units in one month.

    "We're extremely pleased with our customers' response to Rodeo and Trooper this autumn. In my opinion, Trooper and Rodeo offer the best value in their segment and that keeps our customers driving Isuzu product," said Gary Tucker, vice president, SUV Sales.
