When it comes to the subject of ’80s turbocharged Japanese ferocity, these are indeed a rare sight.
Marketed as the successor to the cult 117 coupe, styled by Giugiaro, tuned by Irmscher, and with a 2 litre turbo donk under the hood powering the rear wheels, once can’t help but feel that the Isuzu Piazza should be heaps popular, given the resurgence of ’80s nostalgia in the last few years. Unfortunately, they just aren’t.
Being sold in Australia and New Zealand as a Holden probably didn’t help either.
