Yeah, that thing is cool. I would roll in that!
Bart
It would be a fun toy! The way the door opening is cut is what I considered as an insert for my VX in off-road mode. I wonder how heavy those wheels are; coming from an airliner!

Cool, but before there was VehiCROSS there was MultiCross and that would indeed be a cool ride to have...

I forgot all about that thing, Joe! Your link took me deeper into this thing:

It looks like a Trooper had a three-way with an Impulse & the VX-02!

When Isuzu decides to go weird they go all out, LOL!

Look no further than the Zen concept from 2001 for validation of that...:bwgy::bgwo:

I've always loved their heavy/medium truck line where they get no less funky...

Then, of course, is my first Isuzu and the car that earned my respect for the marque...

I really hope that thing has a skid plate on its back side or at least a set of wheelie bars.

Yeah, Isuzu had some very cool concepts. All I can say is, at least we got the VX!
Bart
PS - Joe, yeah, the Impulse is a crazy cool little car. I love mine, but I just don't know how long I will hang on to it. It's so hard to manage 4 cars and 2 motorcycles. :rolleyes:

I feel ya, currently thinning down from 19 vehicles that there was no way I was gonna be able to keep up with. No idea what I was thinking! :mado: So will be just Isuzus, motorcycles, military and farm vehicles. :p Do gimme a shout if you decide to part with your Impulse, you got a sharp one!

Yeah, its one of those things, when I think about it, I am like, "why do I have 4 cars?". But when I look at it, I am like, "Hell yeah, this car is awesome!"
If only I was rich.
Bart
Look no further than the Zen concept from 2001 for validation of that...:bwgy::bgwo:
The Zen looks to me like it was designed by an architect. Perhaps that is what VX designer, Jeffrey Gardner, was going for but it was quite the departure from the VX. Not sure how I feel about that one.
The semi that Joe posted tho is pretty bad mule!
Then there is this old school ride I never knew about:

Interesting story...

The MX1600 was a very cool ride and the influence definitely shows in the Pantera. Now I've got to drag out a concept from Isuzu I was so in love with back in the 80's that I actually starting stashing away money in the hopes it would go into production... The 4200R!

I have driven the 4200R!! :yesgray:
In Gran Turismo... :smilewink
The myriad of buttons in the interior tickled me as a kid:

Of course, the COA was also a trip. What is your take on this one, guys?
