    When I showed mine to my son at his karate school everybody we wanted to see it was impressed. But the best comments came from two of my sons teenage friends. One clasmate of his who is a casual friend and we weren't specifically showing it to him, came out and said "whatever that is - its COOL!" . My son's closest karate buddy who drives an original full size Bronco, said "That is a amazing. I want one." The instructor and two other adult really liked it too.

    But as far as random comments when riding around, so far in a week of ownership, I have mostly only gotten rubber necking from a lot of people. Mostly people in other small SUV's or SUV-like wagons. But some from guys in old beat up farm pickups, and I know they aren't looking at me anymore, except when I deliberately dress up to show off myself.

    On our recent trip to Chincoteaque Island we got nonstop comment. One guy even chased us down to find out what it was.

    If you want comments, go to a vacation or resort area. Everyone is more laid back and willing to talk rather than just rubberneck.

    BTW on our 3 day trip we had 26 people stop and talk to us about our rig (Yeah I counted). We probably pissed off the Chincoteaque ponies though - everyone was looking at the VX rather than at them.

    My daughter and I just sat down in Applebee's (With a window seat to the VX, comeon you all do it,lol) and noticed a Teenager prowling around the VX with a confused questionable smile on his face. Next he brought out his "I suspect" girlfriend she had the same look (I'm loving it at this point) they left to go back inside, 15 min later my waitress told me that there waitress say's the VX is the talk of her area. Done with our meal I went to the men's room and my daughter was waiting for me outside the restroom door and told me to look outside, I could not see the VX, it had a wall of people around it. Seems that a big family met for Mothers day and they were saying there goodbye's and had to see what the teenagers where talking about. I love this Ride ! !

    I was wondering. Do you have to debadge to get all these people hanging around asking about the vehicle? Does the Isuzu name really make people say or or think "Oh big deal" once they see it?

    i havent noticed a huge increase in comments/stares since removing the rear isuzu logo (my grille says CROSS instead of ISUZU too) but when i do get comments people seem more excited about it since debadging.. my inspiration came to debadge when a family stared as i pulled into a parking lot, as i walked in the mom runs me down to ask about it and the husband comes up a minute later as im telling her about it and says dont worry hunny, "its just an isuzu"

    to those who appreciate cars, isuzu wont make any difference to them.. we just had a meet at a car show and one of the guys there was so stunned that we "already had a group put together" we were confused as to why he said already had a group.. and then he clarified that our VXs must have just come out a month or two ago (good job cleaning them up guys!) he got even more excited when we told him they were just ultra rare 8 year old cars

    I'm thinking of getting mine painted a non-stock color. Not soon, but maybe this year. I never had a car painted before. Will they have to remove any of the badges to do it? Maybe I won't have them put back on if they do. The comments really are fun unless you are in a hurry to go.
