I loved my VX, and may get back into the VX game to have a real off-roader again. (Right now we have a unibody SUV)
Honestly - is there anything that really looks good but can go offroad? I've never really enjoyed the Wrangler aesthetic, and the FJ has a Fisher Price interior and massive windshield problems. The Xterra is too boring to look at.
The main issue is age - VX's are 7-10 years old and I'd love to buy something newer if the right vehicle exists!
Is there anything that comes close to the VX? Or am I destined to return?
