    I hate it when people tell me that my VX looks like a newer version of the RAV 4. I can't tell you how many times I have heard it, but it doesn't sit well with me. I think I just give them the look of disgust as I drive away.

    Yeah, other than the Porsche Cayenne, the Subaru Tribeca is the only other vehicle that I think looks remotely like the VX. The front end of the Tribeca is actually kinda cool looking, imho. But its still too mini-vanish and tame looking for me.

    Cayenne I kinda like...but please don't compare that fugly lookin' trywrecka to a VX any more.

    They were on the right track until they added the "pig snout" grille in the middle.

    Oh, I totally agree. I think its the VX like head lights that I like. But yeah, the grill detracts from it somehow. Makes it look awkward, just like the rest of it...

    The Cayenne is much cooler, but come one, if I was going to buy a Porsche, it sure as shiz ain't gonna be a Cayenne.

    I had the VX out today and was sitting at a table sipping on my coffee on the sidewalk by it. I overheard 2 Asian guys walking down the sidewalk as they were looking at the VX.

    Basically, one of them thought it was awesome looking, but the other one said "it looks an SUV that has down syndrome".

    I wanted to beat him senseless, but he may have been the nephew of someone in the Yakuza for all I knew.

    Um, yeah, not so much. The Rav4 is sooo boring and the Honda CRV is even worse. I have a lot more respect for Toyota from a design perspective. I don't think I have ever seen a vehicle made by Honda that looks cool. I'm sure they are good vehicles, and depreciate well, but man is Honda FUGLY...the Pilot, the Ridgeline, and even the Element makes me gag.
