The Isuzu Piazza is a small, sporty 3-door liftback coupé which was manufactured by Isuzu from 1981-1992 across two generations, marketed also as the Isuzu Impulse in North America and as the Holden Piazza in Australia.
The first generation Piazza used rear-wheel drive and in the United Kingdom it was the first widely available Isuzu passenger car. The second generation used front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and was marketed as the lower-priced Gemini Coupé and as the Geo Storm in the US market.
As of 2010, the number of registered Impulses in North America totaled only 2,300, making Impulses very rare.
