I'd imagine it's more of a contract issue, to prevent unauthorized copies. Can't imagine what liability would be involved in keeping the mold. Going into production woul require a lot more testing to be sure it will work in the real world.

Chevrolet trailblazer SS is more likely to be my next ride.
Love that 395 hp LS2 corvette sourced engine and heavy duty tranny

Funny we are thinking about replacing my wife's ride. I am trying to talk her into a FX35 but she is leaning towards a outback or VW tiguan. The FX is the highest rated car I have ever researched. I would love to test drive one.Quote:

Obviously not a direct replacement for the VX but from a rarity perspective this may now fit the bill. Have you guys seen the Motor Trend article?

Ah, limited production due to a 4 year run, somewhat unpractical and priced higher than the other cars in Acura's line up... very Vehicross. :thumbup:Quote:

Just noticed that EPA fuel economy is 16/23/19, so you won't need to get used to significantly better fuel economy either. ;)
...and it's AWD. We should each buy one... or wait ten years and hope for VX depreciation. :laughing:
Courtesy Acura in Littleton can hook you up...they have a top o the line one with your name on it...only stickers for $57K...:bgwo::bgwb::bwgy::smilewinkQuote:

I looked here: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/
If you pay $32000 for something now, it would have only cost $24,692.97 back in 2000.
Tom gets an "A" on this afternoons quizy. He also received an "A" on a previous threads testy... :rotate:
This is my choice (after I realized that the H3X would never be built?)
http://wot.motortrend.com/mercedes-b...#axzz2Cg3XQOYn
Wow! So in perspective, the FJ is a better value and has more features, better fuel economy, and more storage... Before I got into Vehicrosses, I was seriously considering getting a FJ... But I don't want that amount of debt at this time.. .trying to buy a house!Quote:

You can even lift them & some came with a 5.3 & stouter rear axle with a locker! Look up the rarest of them, the North Face Edition. Nothing has the personality of a VX tho...
@ Zeus
Actually i am seriously thinking about the trailblazer SS as my future ride.
I originally purchased our vx for a surprise for my wife. She drove it the first year until my lifted ZR2 Chevy S-10 died (@250K). At the time, with a growing family, we needed vehicles with more doors. So I started searching for a new daily driver for our family. I was staying in the small SUV catagory.

This is what I came home with: '08 Toyota Rav4 Limited V6 AWD
http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9a914947.jpg
So added a few toys and a set of new wheels (performace summer set) and it worked.....

My wife let go of the keys to the VX.
Since then our vx has been one of my daily drivers. So what to replace the VX with?
Well I would have to say..... Another VX.... Most of us have gone to the extreme to put a vx in the driveway.
Iff'n things go according to plan, & Suzy can stand a few more years of abuse without becoming a total pile, I see a pine box/dirt nap as my D-D...:yesgray:
