For now, a memorandum has been signed, signaling the start of negotiations. The deal is expected to become official when company bosses Susumu Hosai and Dan Akerson meet face to face later this month.

GM desperately needs something that will make the Colorado name popular again in the light pickup industry. But the fact that Isuzu is involved likely means a global product for Asia or Europe is more likely.
