My Uncle had a clapped out 93. it ran ok.

My assistant principal in elementary school had one of these in white. My dad was always raving about it! Slick car for sure, wish I could have driven one!

My dad got one of these new. He got a deal too bc it was my uncles car. (He worked at ford in Detroit and would get a new car every 6 months and would sell or give away whatever he was driving and he sold my dad his fully loaded 500 for a song)

Had a buddy who had one. He had no idea what he had 😂 Dude went out and put dubs on it. I had to tell and show him what he had. He eventually put the stocks back on with summer tires until he got some tee hees for it. Dude didn’t rice it out but he was goin full tuner with it

1st time seeing you I believe. I tried buying 94,95 and 98 sho. The 94 was in a small shop and the seller never showed up. The 95 I actually drove and it felt like typical Ford quality at that time (we had an 87 Taurus in the fam bought new) and I walked away. I test drive a 98 v8 but wasn't impressed. I didn't even know about the engine problems that developed with that 3.4 v8. I did try to buy a 99 se with the 3.0 during 24v. That sucker was actually kind of fun. But granny light came on and I took it back and gave up

Australia had 3rd gen Taurus but the locally built ford falcon were better rwd for burnouts

american ford division was technologically incapable of building a high performance four camshafts 4 Valve per cylinder high reving all aluminum masterpiece V6. Proof was in their primitive cast iron lol pushrod v6 they offered in base/lx/lower models. That is all ford was capable of. ford Taurus SHO existed thanks to Yamaha and "Japanese Technical know how" and "made in Japan". Thank you Yamaha from ford. It is amazing that a small Japanese motorcycle company that does not even build cars can build a better engine than a giant ford motor company. I can see where the future for ford is going to or already has gone. Hahahahahaha

Interesting to find out it was intended to have a limited run. Always thought it was a European fighter.

I only seen an Isuzu hombre once or twice they are just a rebadged Brazilian S10.

Thank you for the video. Good footage and information. Too bad that Mercury Sable LTS did not go into production. The footage was interesting and the facts. I did not recall that it was supposed to be a limited run model. I learned something new. I know Conan O'Brien has one. They did mess up the styling in 1996 sadly. Thee SHO model lived on too. The last American Taurus had SHPO trim. I recall when they test drove this car back in the day, they called it SHO GUN and things like that. Getting the automatic indeed helped too. You mentioned something i was going to say about the Mercury Sable parts. Good on you.

My aunt had a 93 dark blue SHO automatic. It was the first sport sedan I remember riding in as a kid and was my favorite of all of her cars.

I still see some second generation ford taurus's on the road still

Awesome video rob these cars were super reliable back in there day

Awesome video rob i can't really say how many of these Isuzu Hambres I've seen in person on the road i could probably say like 1 or 2

Awesome video rob

I owned a 94 SHO. Dark green, gray interior, manual. Bought it cheap. Car ran and drove beautifully, thing was a ripper. Sadly, i got it cheap due to upstate NY rust so i drove it several months but when inspection time came up, it wouldn't pass bc the rear struts were about to come through the strut towers, and the rear control arms were nearly Bluetooth. So i removed that beautiful intake, dismantled it, polished every piece to nearly chrome, reassembled it, and hung it on the wall in my man cave. It still hangs theree proudly to this day as its a work of art

I had a black 92. Tinted the rear windows. Factory Recaro seats black leather with comfortable black cloth inserts with cool multicolored stripes. It was a beautiful, comfortable car and a lot of fun!

The original SHO engine was a delight to see. These days, all we see are big plastic covers under the hood. 👎

Can you do a video on the Mercury Topaz LTS and Topaz XR5?

I found it interesting that you described the body cladding as aggressive. I remembered magazine reviews criticizing the cladding as being too understated

I absolutely love the SHO my dad bought on brand new back in 1993. It was green and that car was so advanced for it's time back in the day. I'd still drive that car now if I could.

Awesome vid as usual Rob!

Tengo un Escalade 2000 con 206000 millas sigue como un campeón.

Subaru Justy please

The actual Isuzu pickup was far better looking and more appealing than this rebadged S-10.

Bring back the Tempo and Topaz!!

Now they are Tweaker vehicles.

Mitsubishi raider anyone?

Here in Brazil, the Isuzu Hombre was the actual S10. Was sold as a Chevy and on the name S10... Even had two facelift and a second gen in 2012 based on the Colorado.

I have a single cab '98 Isuzu Hombre that an old tenant left abandoned in one of my properties... Not sure what to do with it but I never knew how bad these pickups really were. Lol smh

I’d love to a Mitsubishi diamanté video! Keep up the good work

Being the "Family Dollar" version of the S-10 is what it great though, You can buy a Hombre dirt cheap and throw a SBC in it plus all the parts off a S-10/S-15 will bolt right on........

This and the Mitsubishi Raider/Dodge Dakota

i have a 2000 Isuzu hombre, barebones, roll up windows, manual transmission, 4 cylinder, single cab, but man does that truck do what i need it to do. Great little work horse without all the extra BS like the new trucks of today.

Do a second generation Nissan Xterra video

Thanks for this! I'm thinking about picking up one of these!

Time for yet another "sales story": one of my customers at our AutoNation USA Superstore in Irvine, California tried to buy a used Chevrolet S10 pickup, which sold before his financing was approved. I sold him a late-model Isuzu Hombre instead as we had one of those in stock. Since his occupation was a pool cleaner I reminded him he was also a "Pool Hombre!" SOLD!!

Man, these take me back to my childhood in Southern California. You'd see these everywhere. I live in Texas now, but my family live in up Reno, Nevada and I am always surprised to see these still kicking around out west.

Thanks for giving mini trucks some attention. 😊

I had the displeasure of selling Isuzus when these came out. The ride and drive I attended was a joke. Current Pup owners largely hated it,because it was a "Great Value" version of a S10. It think the Brazillian front and rear parts were actually the ones the S10s down there used. Awesome vid Rob!

There was not enough info for this truck to justify a full-length video, so it got a shorter video instead. Also, excuse the delay, we had a hurricane here in Florida.

Isuzu's own pickup was, by far, more interesting than the stupid Hombre.

My favorite body style sable

The Nissan Xterra is the vehicle that I have kept the longest and I will never sell. In 24 years I have had 33 cars of all types, but none stole my heart like the Xterra. It is 2002, 4x4, green exterior color. With it I practice mechanics and I have replaced all the sensors even before they failed, brakes, suspension and I installed Bilstein shock absorbers. I live in CDMX Mexico and I use it very little. I absolutely love her.

I'LL SAY RIGHT NOW THAT THE NISSAN XTERRA IS ONE OF THE BEST VEHICLES EVER MADE, AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY JUST AS CAPABLE AS SOME OF THE OTHER MORE WELL KNOWN SUV TRUCKS! IT'S BEEN GIVEN THE MOST RELIABLE AND DEPENDABLE VEHICLES AWARD EVERY YEAR THAT IT WAS IN PRODUCTION!! RELIABLE AND LONGEVITY

so what inspired everyone going full BUBBLE in the 90s?

I for one have always liked the 80-82 Thunderbird, One of my really good friends in high school had a 81 T-Bird that was given to by his parents that they bought brand new as a left over year by the dealerships in 82 for next to nothing so they got it out of their inventory, it was the PERFECT "High School Hot Rod" in the late 80's.

Thank you for sharing some Pontiac excitement. Who would have thought the Pontiac Aztek would become popular years later. I recall when the Buick version the Rendezvous was selling well and it was different. The funny thing is they were based off the minivan platform. Thank you for sharing once again.

I love your videos, I'm obsessed with 90-2000s chryslers and it's great to see them being covered, it would be awesome to see a video about the sebring coupe as neither 1st or 2nd gen have any reviews on youtube or much said about them at all on the internet

The cloud cars Chrysler Cirrus was a very roomy midsize car. That if you were tall you had plenty of room. It was also very comfortable sporty driving.
