I'm with you, circ, and no offense Tone, but there is only one Mercedes that looks good AND was made for off-roading:



Now, back on topic. I think about this all the time. If I was in the market for a different, new vehicle, I would probably find myself in a Toyota, but not the FJ. I just can't get with the FJ, its too bloated looking. I mean, they seem pretty nice, but there is just something about it that bothers me, and I think its the fact that its kinda H2 looking. So anyway, I would probably end up in a Tacoma or a 4Runner, and not because I think they look cool, but because they could get the job done and be reliable.

The simple fact of the matter is that there is nothing new that looks as cool as the VX. You either deal with the age issue and the fact that Isuzu is out of the passenger vehicle market for good, or you buy something new, and more or less boring.
