GM's Oriental version of the T-Car platform was sold in the USA starting in 1976 as the Buick Opel by Isuzu and was renamed the Buick Opel which in1981 became the Isuzu branded I-Mark model
It’s a beautiful coupe, and so what if it’s dated? It’s a reliable car, and it offers diesel power and efficiency. Get rid of that stupid manual transmission and make sure it has air conditioning. It’s a different car than Chevrolet Chevette; the Chevette diesel didn’t offer air conditioning, which was ignorant. Ford did the same ignorant stuff on Escort, Tempo, and Ranger with their diesel engines. This engine is not about speed but fuel efficiency.

I wonder how hard it would be to bring one back to life. I have an '82 that's been sitting in a shed for decades.
4:53 What happened there? :D
"Dude, you're on camera, I can sew you for this 35 years from now."
The oriental Isuzu Gemini.
Lol😂 Absolutely PC!!
The 4dr models were very popular as taxis in Malaysia and the Philippines. They were unbreakable.
was this 75/80 dragway?
Yes, it is. They did a lot of their testing there or on the 795 expressway before it opened.
Never saw one of those on the road.
A friend of mine had a white, four door, diesel I Mark. I thought it was a cool car.
Three years later, the I-Mark would be all new, and attractively designed by Giugiaro
Can it go uphill?
Opel by Isuzu. Now at your Buick dealers..
Los cuatro puertas me gustan amí , para llevar a la familia

Fancy wheels for the time, even in what 13” size lol. 😅
Man it is barely moving off the line lol. 😮
This is what they based the chevette off of.
Am I the only one that cringes when the host says "Oriental"?
(2500+ lbs for a car this size is rather porky too.)
And what do you know, cars are shaped like this again. Blah 🤮 lol
