I never heard of the VX. Ilived in VT and was looking for a 4wd and happened to see one on display at a dealership still brand new in 2002. I did not even know what it was. I stopped and asked what it was. At first refused a test drive but was convinced. Enjoyed but sticker was way to high. When the dealer kept calling I did a Google and found at least 60 still brand new at 23995. I told him match it or quit calling. He matched it I bought it and it was not til later that I came to enjoy the quircky uniqueness that is the VX. I still enjoy driving it everyday but that does not happen to everyone.
