Sadly, you’re right.  The Glass House is a huge building and it’s hard to imagine finding tenants to fill the place.  And the last thing Dearborn needs is a dead, standing hulk of a building right at the corner of Michigan and Southfield.  I’ll shed a tear when they tear it down, but I’d rather see a park there than a decaying building with smashed out, broken windows.

Autoline Daily mentioned this too.  From earlier today:   Could China’s auto industry be headed for a collapse? That’s one of the possibilities raised by an in-depth report from Reuters. Overcapacity triggered a price war that is turning into a financial disaster. The vast majority of Chinese automakers lose money because they’re building to government-issued production targets, not customer demand. On top of that, 70% of car dealers lose money because they’re selling cars for 20% below their own cost. And there’s no relief in sight. Municipal, provincial and even the central government continue to subsidize these companies. They do not want to see factories closing, which would trigger massive layoffs and drag consumer confidence even lower. Even foreign automakers are caught up in it. Reuters reports one independent retailer is selling Chevrolet Malibus for $10,000 under their sticker price, and Audis are going for 50% off.

Didn't Ford have a shit ton of issues with the 1.5L I4?    The 1.5L 3 Cyc doesn't seem to have those issues.

Isuzu is a geat little truck.  Overall cost-of-ownership is low.  Only real issue is they ride a bit rough being a cabover.

Of course I noticed. 😀   Based on claimed engine efficiency I’d bet it’s a Miller cycle, which is turbo version of Atkinson.  The lower power per liter of displacement compared to normal EcoBoost also suggests that it’s Miller cycle.  For the same power of around 150 HP I’d personally prefer a 2.0L Atkinson like Honda’s for its simplicity but know 1.5L turbo should work fine too.   i also like that Ford is using an inline 4-cylinder for the 1.5L engine displacement instead of a 3-cylinder.  As covered in another thread Toyota recently announced a new 1.5L 4-cylinder that is replacing their 1.5L 3-cylinder, joining GM, Honda, and others with similar engine sizes.  Should make for a smoother-running engine.  A 3-cylinder that large is pushing limits.  For what it’s worth, I know Ford has had a 1.5L 4-cylinder for a long time, though I don’t know if the Territory’s is basically based on same or if completely new.  Fuel economy seems pretty good too for this size vehicle, though I don’t know how it would convert to EPA MPG.

Been thinking of buying a Class 5/6 diesel truck and I've noticed a lot of new leftover Isuzus, Chevy tilts, and even the badge engineered Hino version of the Isuzu going for used truck prices. The International built Chevy 5500/6500 are in oversupply too. Is there something wrong with these Isuzu cabovers or just supply exceeding demand?

There was about a 6 month difference between them October 1990 production started Town Car, couldn't find an on sale date   January 1991 production started for the Crown Vic and they went on sale in March of that year. 

Note is not an Atkinson cycle cycle too? 😛
