    Happens all the time. I had some work done at a Denver Isuzu dealer years ago and when I pulled up all of the sales team, as well as everyone in the shop area, emptied out into the parking lot to see what the heck the strange new car was. Needless to say; no one there had ever seen, much less heard, of a VehiCROSS.

    Thumbs down

    These dealerships should have their privilege to sell Isuzus in the United States permanently revoked.

    Oh wait.....

    Yeah Isuzu dealers in the UK are amazing!

    I finally found a VehiCross friendly company though: http://www.gatwick-group.co.uk/contact.htm

    I think the OP is being a bit harsh to be honest. Expecting a dealer or importer of anything, not just cars, to know about an item that was never sold in this country is unfair. It's like me going to Tesco and taking the piss because they don't stock Fantales or Tim Tams. You don't know what they are? Well excuse us while we point and laugh

    Considering that the OP was from five months ago, maybe Grok has softened his opinion...especially seeing as how he didn't state one!

    There's an implication albeit, on reflection, a little ambiguous.

    That's the trouble with t'internet. If you don't make yourself clear people can get the wrong impression (hence the in my post).



    Oh, look. There it is again
