| | Tirekicking Today: Preview Drive: 2002 Isuzu Axiom (sport-utility vehicle) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24) |
 | | Although the Axiom doesn't quite qualify as a "crossover" vehicle in the sense that word has been used lately, as a blend of sedan, wagon, SUV and minivan, it doesn't rank as the ordinary sport-utility, either. |
 | | Isuzu designers also were "looking to obtain sedan-like qualities," such as nimble handling talents, appealing performance, easy-to-handle dimensions, and comfort. |
 | | Axiom uses body-on-frame construction rather than a unibody, with a reinforced crossmember and stiffened engine and transmission mounts. |
