Styling is awesome...and I get the 2WD relative to Dakar class grouping.

But.... the VX will leave it for dead on trails.

However.... I'd love one for desert/town and shear WTF value!!

Does it burn oil? LOL!
Straight across trade in a heartbeat. Then if you didn't like it you could sell it and buy three more VXs.

Dear Mr Gavin,

Thank you for your recent email regarding our New 2008.

I am very sorry to inform you that Peugeot do not currently manufacture vehicles that conform to US regulations. As a consequence it is not possible for Peugeot vehicles to be imported to the USA. Should this be attempted the vehicle will be blocked at the port of arrival.

Currently Peugeot do not have any plans to resume Peugeot sales in the USA.


Kind Regards

Julia Bové

Gill I was pretty positive we would not see them on our shores. And the vehicles racing Dakar will share very little with the Euro road versions. Even the body panels will be remanufactured out of carbon fiber for the race versions. ;)

Back when I was in the Army and stationed in Germany we were allowed to ship back one car per soldier when we rotated back from overseas. I don't even think they had to be US spec cars if I recall correctly. This was around 1990 so perhaps the rules have changed but if you know someone stationed over there you could ask them. Would be pretty cool to have the only one in CONUS that is until it broke down.

You can ship a vehicle back. A lot of guys in Guam bring back old Skylines, but there is no way to register them, but the engine alone was worth it. Would be sweet to bring one back. When I went through the Suez canal last deployment, there were these 4wd cars, reminded me a lot of the old Eagle, that I really wish I could bring back. I have no idea what they were, like a car/scout combined.

Makes a person want two VXs so they can get all foose crazy on body mods but have a 4x4 version ....of course of person could probably create a lot of illusions with paint but still wouldn't get that awesome body design of the Peugeot..that is one menacing looking dune buggy....dune buggy cuz it's a two wheel drive lol

I agree Don. It only took Peugeot 12 years to produce a vehicle with the styling we already know and love. It really shows how forward thinking the Isuzu design team was.
