You guys got it all wrong!!
You need to read the Book "VX Concept and Design" by Hillsboro! That book refers to Craig Hill and Tony Steffen who had the car farmed out to Guigiaro before letting Italdesign Concepts have a go, then it was assigned to Nakamura's team. The Japanese frequently have things designed in other countries. This car is an Italian design which is why it so sleek and stylish and "in-your-face" at the same time! There is no denying it these are hard cold facts even the CIA and US gov't can confirm! You don't get any more credible than that DO YOU?

Oh, yeah, because only Italians know how to design anything. The rest of the world is bereft of capable designers. :rolleyes:
That's right - and pizza too!
hey how's about you comin along for da ride in my car? Forget'bout it!

Right...and Ken Okuyama, the designer at Pininfarina responsible for the Enzo, is Japanese. And the head of BMW Group's questionable new design direction, Chris Bangle, is American. You won't see me putting a Chevy badge on my M3. Even if the new 5er does look like a Pontiac.
My point was not that the VX didn't look fit to be Italian. My point was that Isuzu was still responsible for the project, the VX would not exist if not for Isuzu, and Isuzu deserves better than having Ferrari given credit for their project.

Anyone got a Xeon Isuzu badge?
Anywhere to get very bright Xeon Isuzu badges for the VX? These should be as bright as welding torches where people need special glasses to look directly and see ISUZU, not worried about lawsuits, just very brand concious.

Is this a joke? I've never heard anything about Ital Design having anything to do with the VX??? It's hard to tell sometimes when people are kidding on the internet. Are you kidding? Companies are usually very proud to brag that Guigiaro did their designs and he is proud to brag about the cars he's done, and the VX isn't on his site. Are you kidding?
Mama mia! Is that the new Ferrari 206 Scaramouche?
Splendid workmanship on just about everything!
The wheels and tires are beautiful. The breaks and rotors are very nice, as is the work under the hood. The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is uncompromised.
I can’t believe you had a custom slipcover made for it.
Dude!
Where can I get one?
Seriously.
No one can debate your talent as a mechanically inclined individual or dare I say, an artist, albeit a fantastically misguided one.
As far as the grill and hood ornament are concerned, I have to tell you the truth; I was looking around for something different to put on my own grille, and I was thinking about a Ferrari Prancing Horse or a Peterbilt emblem. I was quite surprised and even a bit peeved someone else with the same brand as well as the very same model vehicle beat me to the mark.
Great minds eh?
No.
Dude, I just wanted one.
One shining chrome Ferrari™ Prancing Horse emblem.
One is cool.
(1)
ONE!
However.
It shakes the very fondations of conventional thought as to what motivates a person to do what you did. You seem to have taken debadging and rebadging to an almost pathological level and I suggest you seek therapy.
PS. If you sell it, the first thing anyone is going to do to is to peel that Ferrari stuff off, (kind of like what you did in reverse) and sell it on E-Bay. So why don’t you just do it yourself? I’ll give you $25.00 for one of those spiffy Italian horsys.
Now that I think about it, you should sell all that crap and keep the car!
One last thing: Are you sure it’s a good idea to have anything stuck on your steering wheel? If the airbag were to deploy it could do more harm than good.
Somewhere out there is a Ferrari owner reading all this, and he is laughing until he wets his pants!:D

No, he's wetting his pants because he can't control his bladder due to age. :)

Wait a minute.... I am not that old.
As for the rebadging... to each his own. I agree sell the Ferrari emblems and sell the VX debadged. Only because you will never recoup the cost of the emblems on the sale of the car.
Also $25 is a little cheap, if he has a new factory horse it probably cost closer to $100.

It is sweet. I had the pleasure to meet Terry and his Ferrari buddies at a local car show in PHX. Terry is still trying to convince me on getting one.
Terry did you buy more Tropical shirts ?
:p:cool:

Transio... Terry might be younger than you.. hahahaha.. He at least looks pretty young. His other ferrari buddies also were not the stereotypical OLD owners people might think.

Saw it. A ferrari emblem avatar, however, requires ferrari ownership no more than a ferrari emblem on your car, as proven by this thread

Great. Let us know how that works out for you. Personally, I think Ferraris, although decent performers with an unmatched exhaust note, are overpriced and overly "fat". I would be happier with a Lotus Elise (or Exige, even better) and an extra 150k in my portfolio, thank you (as compared to a Ferrari 360 CS).

It's possible. I'm getting older, just turned 30. The point of jokes like this, though is to pick on stereotypes. Don't take it personally.
PS - Terry, what model Ferrari do you have?

I am 31 so I guess I am old and wetting myself :)....
I did not take it personally, just thought I would respond.....It's all in fun.
