The Isuzu Oasis was a compact minivan and the result of a joint venture between Isuzu and Honda.
The agreement was that Isuzu would build a version of the Rodeo for Honda and call it the Honda Passport. Honda, on the other hand would allow Isuzu to sell a rebadged Odyssey called the 'Oasis'. The Odyssey was a huge success when compared to the Oasis. Though the Oasis was essentially the same car with a lower sticker price and a better warranty, Honda's more prominent brand recognition propelled the Odyssey to greater sales.. The Oasis was sold from the 1996 model year to the 1999 model year. The Odyssey was redesigned for 1999, but Isuzu still sold the original body with minor changes all the way through 1999. Unlike the Odyssey in the U.S, later Oasis models came with a VTEC engine as found in the fourth-generation Honda Accord EX.Specifications
