GTP Cool Wall: 1991-2005 Isuzu Trooper/Opel Monterey/Holden Jackaroo

Typical found here:

Which makes this uncool.

GM/ Isuzu thingy from the 90s. Meh.

I go to junkyards probably 4-5 times per month when there's no snow on the ground and I've never once seen an Isuzu Trooper in one. Actually Isuzu's in general a pretty rare in the US, I had a hard enough time trying to track down a Rodeo.

Lot of Land Rovers though.

Not as sure about Land Rovers but Range Rovers, yes. Land Rovers for a long time were at least intended for people who need it offroad and to last more than 7 years. Until the Freelander came along.

Range Rovers were pretty guff to begin with and degenerated into urban tractors not long afterwards. Funnily enough, I see these Vauxhall Frontera and Monterey* used on tarmac roads and school runs more than I do out in the fields as well.

*Sorry, I'm just too used to Vauxhall over the other brands

I was there this past weekend and there was a few Troopers as well as a few other performance cars that was pretty sad. I have nothing against the Trooper but at least in my experience Isuzu's tend to end up there more often. The only thing they have built that's redeeming at least for me is their Duramax diesels.

Ugg... Way too many names... That itself is uncool.. 👎

But it looks like a capable 4x4 SUV. So: meh

I really need to stop doing this.

90s Opels are automatically uncool.

Badge Engineering FTW! It had officially 12 different names. How confusing and pointless!

That's actually impressive, I didn't know it was that many. Looking into it though, I'm a bit surprised that Honda took an Isuzu and rebadged, then rebadged it again to make it an Acura. I also had no idea Subaru had a mid-sized SUV based off of this too.

It beat the 10 or so caused by the Hillman Avenger:
