The Isuzu i-Series pickup truck line was launched at the 2005 New York International Auto Show. The i-Series replaces the Isuzu Hombre, which has been out of production since 2000. Like the Hombre, the i-Series shares its platform with the General Motors mid-size pickups. It is built at the same plant in Shreveport, Louisiana which produces the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, which were in turn developed off the cab and chassis of the Thai-built Isuzu D-Max by GM, Isuzu, and GM do Brazil.
The i-Series sales have been poor thus far, with just 1,377 sold from the start of production through February 2006 according to Automotive News. Rumors of Isuzu Thai-produced vehicles reaching US shores in the 2008 model year continue to appear on many automotive press sites.
