Axiom is perhaps the most appealing Isuzu to date. It is uniquely styled: neither over the top, nor born to be mild. The interior is car-like in its luxury and appointments, truck-like in its spacious dimensions. In performance, the Axiom skillfully straddles a tricky engineering divide, doing the daily commute or serious off-roading with equal aplomb.With the glut of new product available, SUV/ hybrid buyers have been getting increasingly sophisticated in their likes and dislikes. The old days/old ways of automakers putting body cladding on practically anything and having it sell have gone out the window. SUVs are a tougher sell now, but Isuzu's Axiom looks (and drives) like it can handle itself in this company.
