    Vx

    Well two days after i had my VX delivered i headed to an new home depot near my house to buy an screwdrivers set kit to keep it in the truck & as i was exiting the store i had a bunch of people standing around my toy,i got freak out because i though some thing wrong was going on,while approaching my truck all of them begind asking me questions about the VX,who build them,which year is it,etc.

    Two nice chicks ask me to have some pics with alonside the VX,i felt like i were a hollywood star or something similar.

    It was a nice experience since i never had an outstanding vehicule such as the great VX,from that moment i trully understood how special this SUV are.

    Every day i have people asking me about the VX.

    I bet my very life that if isuzu did kept building this jewel today it will be the top-of-the-line SUV in the market.

    I was completed surprissed when an isuzu tech told me that the guys who design the VX were the same that design the infinity FX 35,so i just step wondering...... Damn it ! how the VX will be with all the features & options in the today's market eh ?

    Talking all the time

    I was in Montecito and Santa Barbara last weekend and whenever I came back to the VX from the beach there were people staring and would ask all the questions... Who, what, where... I feel great explaining about it and love all the looks and thumbs ups I get... It's great

    ive noticed that going to typical vacation spots draws more attention to the VX.. was in cape may new jersey and got 4-5 comments in one day.. rehoboth beach, delaware seemed like every 3rd person walking down the street was looking the whole way down the street, i think people look more closely at their surroundings when on vacation/ somewhere they arent familiar with, so the vx sticks out even more

    Oooooooh... Well, that explain a lot. I really like the look of the FX 35. I can't imagine it actually going over anything more technical than a speedbump, though, and that's why I got the VX -- so I could access my land!

    I've never had someone stop me in a parking lot, but I've had plenty of rubber-necking on the highway. I finally went through with a partial debadging, because confounding people is that much more fun.

    I get questions about it weekly - have since I bought it in 2001. Just had someone in the elevator (of my building) yesterday ask me about it. I even had someone from HP who was in town for the day email me about it (I was parked at the mall and he came out of a restaurant, saw the VX and did a web search when he got back to his computer - he knew it was mine from the website where the custom plate is posted).

    Now that's some detective work!
    What website are you referring to?

    Yeah sometimes I get used to people staring and asking and don't even notice until I take some fancy BMW or Infinity out of the garage at work and notice that nobody's looking at me. I kinda feel like I suddenly got old and ugly and long to get back in my truck that makes guys check me out and girls giggle and swoon. Once I was taking my old neighbor lady out to eat and she said that the two dudes walking down the sidewalk were staring at her and making her nervous, and I said, don't worry, it's just the car. She said she didn't think so. Then they did the window roll gesture and said "what the heck is that" and I said "told you so!".

    I used to have really long hair, and when I drove my '66 GTO convertible, I would get guys rolling up on me giving me the "eye", untill they realized they were "checking out" a dude...Yikes!

    Having a bunch of VXes in one place always draws attention. You should come to Moab and see for yourself!
