To be honest, I forgot the Isuzu Ascender was a thing.

Yep.

Apparently it was the value option among that platform:

The Ascender had one big marketplace advantage: it was the cheapest of all the GMT360 trucks during its 2003-2008 sales run (and that's not a lie). The Bravada got the axe with the death of the Oldsmobile brand in 2004, but we can look at the remaining steps on the GMT360 pricing ziggurat for 2005: Ascender ($25,959), Trailblazer ($27,520), Envoy ($29,750), Rainier ($35,080), 9-7X ($38,270). Those are the prices for the base-model, five-passenger trucks, of course, but you get the idea.

I didn't want to stop and take pictures, believe me the dealer's website photos make the car look better than it really is. https://www.onestopautogroupsc.com/d...amera/94977872

I never saw a Panamera with a wing before this morning when I drove past this place. Pretty sure the plasticoated white rims are also not standard.

Looked like someone wanted their Porsche to look like it came right out of an episode of Miami Vise

Guessing the high chairs are for hunting, but it's way too hot to be driving around doors off roof off today. Kinda cool rig though.

The CT5V Blackwing gets all the love, but the CT4V Blackwing itself is pretty great, especially in Electric Blue with a manual like this one.

The V8 manual does seem to get all the attention but I agree with you, the CT4V is also a nice offering. Did you happen to get a new car? 😄

Haha no. I just spotted this one out walking Todd this morning. It did have temporary tags, so it's brand new.

Speaking of tags….my buddy who is finally got a build spot for his Raptor Bronco is going to register it in Montana. He lives full time in CA like me.
