I liked them ever since I saw photos of them at launch. Anyway, the first time I actually saw one in the flesh was when I'd driven 350 miles to see and try one I had no intention of buying at the time.

Well, I didn't buy that one, but I did know that I definitely wanted a VX. I saw a couple in the US too - a silver/dark grey one in Vegas and one with a newsprint-style livery in S/F.

Then I saw one advertised moderately locally to me and... 11 months and 18,000 miles later
