the fact that this guy included the Dodge Nitro and Mercedes R class doesn't give me the impression he did a lot of research. I don't think much of the nitro and I like poking fun at a Mercedes minivan, but I'm not sure I've ever looked at either of them as all-time ugly. And honestly, I've never had anyone laugh or snicker at the VX. Shoot, I've had more ignorant people poke fun at my Fiero for bursting into flames, even though that was an issue with the 4 cylinder and not the v-6, or my Alfa's for their wonderful reliability reputation.....
Also, the fact that he didn't know that Isuzu meant for this to be a limited production vehicle doesn't lend credibility to his article.
