Well, here it is Ladies and Gentleman! Bitching Betty, my '93 Isuzu (coughHONDAcough) Amigo S 2.6, thankfully not the S 2.3 as that's a 30 horsie difference.
My previous car was a '93 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS 1.8 that was about as reliable as Windows XP, but I still miss it. It was my first car, you know...the whole emotional attachment and regret that comes with your first car. -Sigh-

That was then, this is now. It's purple, to say the least, and I'm not a truck person. But, the engine has been mostly rebuilt and the fuel system replaced. Mechanically, it's a very solid car which I bought from my mechanic. It's your standard Honda....223,000 miles on it and it refuses to miss a beat. The whole Honda perky, never-give-up-never-surrender attitude is very pronounced in this car. But it also has the old Honda trait of next-to-no low-end torque, though it has no problem spinning the rear tires when prodded.

Now, I know you guys really hate all these little blocks of text that really don't scream anything about performance or how 'sick' a car is, but this type of vehicle is not a candidate for that. It's a 'Sport Cross-over Ute' - Hm, I wonder where the 'sport' is at. If someone finds where the 'Sport' factor on these trucks are, please promptly pick up your telephone and call my cell. 1-800-Yeah Right!

Gawd, what have I gotten myself into this time?

Of course it doesn't pull harder than vehicles with more powerful engines. Why are you wasting your time designing cardomain pages when your amazing powers of deduction could be used for something like curing cancer. Once again, that engine has a very low torque curve. It may not produce a ton of power; but that power comes along early in the RPM's. And yes, you refer to it as a Honda pretty much right away... I never once see where you say "honda-like", only "honda". Check mate, huh? Yeah, your shit's on the last page and its not even by my doing. That's check mate.

Really, now? Did I forget to mention that it pulls no harder than my old Eclipse? Did I also forget to mention that the last truck I owned was a 2004 Chevy Avalanche with 320hp? Or that my brother's Jeep Cherokee pulled far harder than this Amigo ever could? Not to burst your bubble or anything, but this thing has Honda low-end torque at best. I know that this is not the Isuzu/Honda-shared Rodeo, but it has far too many Honda traits to ignore. I never stated this is a Honda truck, read more carefully dumbass. I was COMPARING it to a Honda. Grow up, and get laid. Remove head from sphincter, then talk! Check Mate.

You obviously know nothing about your vehicle. What makes you think its a Honda? There is not a single Honda part on that truck... all Isuzu, through and true. The only ties Isuzu has ever had with Honda is the Passport... and that was an Isuzu Rodeo rebadged as a Honda, not the other way around. Secondly, no low-end torque??? You've got to be kidding me. Have you seen the torque curve on that motor, its all about low-end grunt. Why don't you read up on some of the rides here and actually get a clue before making a page full of misinformation.
