The Isuzu Piazza is one of those distinctive Japanese coupes that still turns heads, thanks to its sharp Giugiaro styling, wedge profile and futuristic eighties cabin. Sold in some markets as the Isuzu Impulse, and remembered in Australia through its Holden Piazza connection, it blended compact dimensions with grand touring character. Early cars used a lively rear wheel drive platform, while later versions brought turbocharged performance, electronic instrumentation and surprisingly advanced suspension tuning, including input from Lotus on selected models. For enthusiasts shopping at Automotive Superstore, the Piazza is the kind of classic that rewards careful maintenance, with quality service parts, ignition components, filters, fluids, braking parts and detailing products all helping preserve its unique appeal.

Part of the Piazza’s charm is its outsider status. It never sold in huge numbers, yet that rarity is exactly why it has become a cult favourite among collectors who appreciate unusual engineering and concept car styling. Its dashboard, with pod mounted controls and driver focused ergonomics, felt like something from a science fiction film when new. Trivia fans also note that the design evolved from the Asso di Fiori concept, giving the production car genuine show stand pedigree. Today, the Isuzu Piazza represents an appealing alternative to more common Japanese classics, offering turbo era character, distinctive looks and a great conversation starter at any cars and coffee meet.
