TO THE POINT What’s New? Isuzu slaps its own name on a GMC Canyon to create the i-280 and i-350 pickups, thereby expanding its lineup to three rebadged GMCs.
Selling Points: Seven-year/75,000-mile powertrain warranty, lower sticker price than GMC Canyon, even after GM’s recent price reductions
Deal Breakers: The GMC Canyon is not a truck worthy of duplication, resale value will tank faster than the truck will ever move, and the future of Isuzu in this country is hardly guaranteed. You make the call.

MEET THE COMPETITION Chevrolet Colorado
Nissan Frontier
