Yes, the first generation Honda van did have an Isuzu "twin", and to answer your question, it was actually made by Honda. The Isuzu was actually the Honda in disguise, but at a lower price. On the flip side, the Honda SUV at the time - the "Passport" was actually an Isuzu Rodeo, but with Honda badges.
When the Honda van was redesigned (around 1999?), there was no Isuzu equivalent.

When it was first introduced, I believe it was made by Isuzu. As were Honda's two sport utility offerings. The Isuzu Trooper was re-badged and sold as an Acura. The Isuzu Rodeo was sold as a Honda Passport.
The Honda Odyssey and the Isuzu Oasis are the same vehicle. So is this a Honda product or an Isuzu product?
Sorry for the semi-highjack... but I've been wondering about this.
