Same experience at a gas station yesterday, guy walks up and asks me if it's new or a year or two old, I proceed to tell him it's a 2000. He nods, then pauses, drops his jaw, and looks back at me and says "You're kidding right?"Quote:

I hit the jackpot today...got stopped twice in five minutes.
As I was leaving Sears I overheard a guy trying to identify this "...uh...Isuzu...uh..." thing to his wife. "V-e-h-i-C-R-O-S-S", I spelled out. They liked it, and were looking for something like that for the coming winter weather. However, when the young lady (who appeared to be about six month pregnant - hope she was and I'm not being rude) asked "Is it roomy?", I had to explain that it wasn't very "family friendly." Oh, well, it just isnt!
Then I drove across the street to the Giant supermarket, and as I was stepping out, an older gentleman (yeah, probably my age!!) stops in his tracks, and yells, "Wow, cool truck!!". In both cases their jaws dropped when I said I had owned it nine years!
I don't think the styling was fully appreciated in the 97-01 era, but now it has come of age! "Where can I get one?" - indeed!!
I believe that back in the 90's people was used to the regular line of vehicules that the car manufacturing industry had to offer back those years.
So when isuzu decided to "break" the rules of engagement the consumer wasn't that prepare to what isuzu put over the table
Many people found the VehiCROSS just too outter the flow of what was out there and refuse to accept that an new era of car engeneering had born.
Now it's ironic how the VX gets that much attention when the car industry have change in the last 15 years.
Yesterday i went to the bronx visiting some friends of mine,while driving on the I-95 i notice two cars along with me,one on my left the other on my right,driving at my same speed for an good bunch of miles.My G/F looked at me and shaking her head said Yep,here we go...again...one more time of this endless history
looks comments and questions died down for a while, like a couple years ... but started up with a vengeance this past year ... it has been a few times a week
Got MAD looks yesterday. Took the VX to emissions. After a 15 minute wait in line, I finally pull into a bay and my tech gets right to work. The techs from, what I could tell, 3 other bays, decided to put their bays on hold and come over and walk circles around my VX. No conversation or questions to be had cause I don't think any of them knew English, heh. I am sure the folks getting tested in those other bays loved me. :o
I can relate.
The last time I got it inspected, there were 6 techs "involved". Everyone else had to wait.

I got an uplifting greeting at the county dump today -- "Wow, what is this? A Ve--cri--cos.. Was this just released?" :) Yeah, it's new...10 years AGO!
