Does this still happen to everyone???

I almost think people are getting more fascinated with it as the years go by...

Same here. And it still seems to surprise people the most when I get to the part about it being a 2001.

Now and then I get asked if my '99 is a newly released model.

I went to what used to be the Isuzu dealer here in Canada today for a new EGR valve and they couldn't believe their eyes. They always heard of it but everyone that worked in the whole dealership and service dept came to the garage to marvel at the VX's curves. They were treating it like such a celebrity that I almost thought the repair was going to be free.

Not much of the typical comment but today a guy at work who is a huge Wrangler fanatic said that the Vehicross is like the Wrangler of Isuzus.

I'd call that pretty high praise, coming from a "huge Wrangler fanatic"...

Heheheh - I get to tell them it's a '99 - a 28.57% greater effect!

Seriously - next year it will be officially 10 years old. Wow. That is going to make people freak out.

Last night I pulled into a Waffle House around midnight and there was a mazda3 full of girls who were gawking/giggling/pointing. Shame they were half-way out of the parking lot before I noticed that they were kinda cute

I wonder if it has anything to do with the tail I have on my VX?

Hahahahaha funny though.

Watch out for any dogs chasing you down the street

I don't think I've told you guys this one:-

I had parked particularly "creatively" in Cardiff one evening whilst looking at flats to rent for work. I was waiting for the letting agent a few metres from the VX and was watching the reactions of bystanders. In guy on a mountain bike did two laps trying to work out what it was and a big black guy came across saying "nice car man, nice car - good to see something different!" which i took as a huge compliment

Oh yeah, I'm currently waiting on a new windscreen arriving from Japan but to make sure they were going to order up the right thing I had to go to the Auto Windscreens depot (again in Cardiff - I've been spending a LOAD of time there...) whilst they worked out if it could be from something else (no such luck ). "Yeah yeah, bring it into the workshop", they say.

In I drive, with the window down (what's the point in it making all the noise if you can't enjoy it in a confined space occasionally!) and all I hear is "What the hell is that?" and the response from one of the other guys, "That's one hell of a car, that's what that is!"

Stuff like that make it worth the frustration when you have silly things go wrong...

Hay just about everywere i go people try to figure out what it is,be4 they say is cute what is it. I was at auto zone just the otherday when this lady wait for me to come out to ask me what was it and if it was a 2k9,she was surprise when i said it was a 99,she said she never seen one b4.She like mine better than her 2k9 suzuki or whatever it was.

I still constantly get asked about it - almost to the point of being obnoxious. Most recently we had a few guys from our Nebraska office in town and they swarmed all over my proton. When I told our CEO about the vid showing a VX pulling a stuck FJCruiser he didn't believe me (he's got an FJ) - then I showed him the vid and he shut up about it. Funny.

I saw this and thought of you....

Just to prove, again, how timeless the design on the Dragon is:
Had a guy waiting for me outside the store today asking if the VX was a 2009 model year vehicle....:bgwg:
And that was with all the recent grime from driving on slushy/melty/snowy roads!
Best,
