P.S.----Am I the only one that thinks Kia Sorentos are nice looking for a four-door?

no I also like the style of the sorento. Thought about buying before, but still uncertain about Kia's

For the most part I get compliments on it....like yesterday when my mechanic friend was checking things out for me before I head out on my 'across country trek' to see famiy....everyone working in the dealership came by to look at it (all curious). Most had never seen one up close, so they were pretty excited. One called it a vegicross...I corrected her quickly. My ex bf absolutely hated it and thought it was the ugliest thing on the road everytime I talked about it. The current bf...finally admited to me that he never liked it at first, but tells me that it has surely grown on him since being around me...the chick who has an overwhelming passion for it. So all in all, I think its 50/50. You either like it or you dont. I still think its the best suv ever produced even though I have some complaints about it every now and then. AND I love the looks the VX gets when we drive past people.

The VX is a unique vehicle. I see lots of the same vehicles on the road but only another VX once in a while. If you put the VX in a line up with all other model SUV's, more people will ask about the VX that all others combined

I think most boyfriends/spouses of girl VX owners get jealous. A girl loving her VX ride is just too much for some guys...

My freinds like it, I am always the guy to drive when we car pool. The only gripe they have is getting in and out of the back seat. I used to get a negative comment here and there, is that a new RAV-4? It looks like a shoe, the usual. But since I have lifted it and put a winch on the front I get great comments "That thing is bad-***! what is it?" and "I bet that can go some places" and all the people I work with refer to it as "my buggy" which I love!

[nfpgasmask]

I think it works both ways for sure...

I was at a pizza joint the other days, sitting across from my wife. The VX was parked right outside and I had a clear view of it looking just past my wife. I said to her, "I like this seat honey, cause I can look at the VX while I eat".

I don't think I need to explain what happened next.

LOL, Bart!

After six years of ownership I do the same thing. I sit looking out at the truck whenever I can and wear a silly smile on my face.

Luckily I have a b/f who loves the VX just as much as me, but he always teases me by calling me a motorhead, which I'm not!

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, my wife likes the VX too, but anything that gets more attention that her....she slowly starts to hate

I'm just very obsessive sometimes.

Back to the original question...

I've had my Vx for less than 2 months now, and I've heard many thoughts on it's looks.

My boss is the only one that said my VX was Ugly, but soon after changed to a slightly emberrased "Unusuall". I think he actually respects it for it's special features, but isn't into 4x4 stuff (besides he's not always that nice to me anyway).

Most of the guys at work really checked it out, and were impressed. One of them just couldn't get over the interior (red and black leather). Another guy said he looked at one when it was new but couldn't afford one... Said he's Jealous! Later in the week several got back to me and said their "expert" friends told them it was really a cool rig, so now they like it even more!

Add to that the comment from the girl at the Bank... She said it was "Cute". Not sure if that's good or not, but hey if you saw her you'd know that she's an expert on "Cute"!!!!

[nfpgasmask]

Yeah, just the other day I was driving through the grocery store parking lot, and a younger girl and her mom were walking out, as they were crossing in front of me, the young girl pointed at the VX and although I couldn't hear what she said (windows up and music blasting), I could tell she said, "Cute car!"

To me, the VX is mean, nasty and tough looking, and never cute...but hey, I'll accept that from a girl I guess.

Well, I was in the company's parking lot today when a young lady approached me and asked: What kind of car is that??? After 5 minutes of me providing my "brief and proud" version of the uniqueness of a Vehicross...She replied: Nice...but it looks like an ugly frog!!!

LOL

[nfpgasmask]

Dang dude, you should have been like, "BEOTCH! YOU look like an ugly frog!"

LOL, jk....

Only ONE of my friends ever disparaged my '99 Ironman. He told me it looked like I was driving a SHOE.

I hope, with the cladding, he at least meant a Nike or something.

Driving a shoe. Thanks, man. I love your minivan, too.

[ZEUS]

This chick at work, last week, said to me, "That's your black SUV out there, right... parked near the front?" I told her it is. She said, "Not that my car is any better..." WHAT??? She drives an '84 Caprice or something! Don't rely on others to know what looks good!
