    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.

    I was thinking of putting SeaDoo logos on mine just to see what comments I get. I need to replace the graphics on one of my PWCs anyway, maybe I'll order an extra set.
