Trying to design a cheap car that can go fast is always a challenge. But in 1990, Isuzu found itself a little gap in the market that it thought it might be able to exploit with the Impulse XS.
Based on GM’s R-Body platform, the Impulse XS came into the market somewhere between the Honda CR-X and the Ford Probe, as MotorWeek pointed out in this Retro Review. And with handling tuned by Lotus, which GM owned at the time, it came out swinging.
Lotus fit stiffer dampers, larger sway bars, and softer springs to get the handling just right. Moreover, the Impulse XS featured Nishiboric passive rear-wheel steering. The system was engineered to allow the alignment of the back wheels to change through the suspension travel, thus adjusting the toe. All of which means that this car looks like a little handler.
