There's more to this site than just the forums.
At the top of the forum categories is a link to the Main website which has some rather useful information.
Wow, the author of that article can't seem to separate "history" from "opinion". To GM, the LUV was a convenient stepchild that they could sell against the Ford, Datsun, and Toyota trucks until the S10 was in utero. Once that happened, they lost all interest in the LUV, and sales languished. The author seems to blame lagging sales on the 2nd-gen's styling. That doesn't follow, because Joe Isuzu sure sold a bunch of them without the Chevy bowties.
And how many times does the author mention the addition of a diesel in 1981? Right.
