Isuzu Impulse

I had a normally aspirated version of this as my first car.  The dashboard was insane.  I used to spend every rainless weekend washing and Armor All'ing the hell out of it.

I don't know what's up with the cats.

All the cats hanging around prove what a grade-A pussy magnet the Impulse was.

Fantastic looking cars, and a good drive from what I understand too. You should pick up another some day.

@midelectric: No comment.

@Alan: I got one of the first one's out. It was slow (maybe 85 hp) and the suspension was definitely not designed by Lotus. It was basically a cheap Japanese economy car with a sexy body.

Impulse. Is that what they were called in the US?

Maxichamp said...

@John L: Yeah. Piazza sounds too much like pizza.

I really like both generations of turbo Impulses. The this generation because they are beautiful. The later generation because it is light for an awd turbo car.

I had a non-turbo version brand new 1986. I still have dreams about this car.
