Of course, back in May, General Motors announced that it would cease operations in South Africa, with the Chevrolet brand to be phased out of the local market at the end of 2017. Isuzu Motors then revealed its intention to purchase the Struandale plant in Port Elizabeth as well as GM's 30% shareholding in Isuzu Trucks South Africa. And that has seemingly opened the door for Isuzu to finally offer an SUV in South Africa again (remember the Isuzu Frontier?).
