    Well the 09 Ram 1500 has a coil over suspension like the VX. (1st year for it) good choice, I'm leaning toward the H3 or the FJ. but not eagerly looking forward to a new payment. so the economy is gonna have to turn around..

    on a side note, a 70 3/4 ton 4wd GMC wouldnt be bad

    I love the 2 door sports utility vehicle and love the Isuzu Amigo, Rodeo Sport and VX. Unfortunately, I do not see anyone making a 2 door SUV.
    I might do a 180. I have always wanted a 1970 or 1971 Plymouth Baracuda
    426 Hemi, lime green convertible. I would have to hit the lottery for that car.

    In staying with the issue of an off-road vehicle....the one option that appears of interest is a Toyota Tacoma 4X4. But so far that's the only one that hits my fancy yet pales relative to the fondness I have towards the VX

    I've been toying around with the idea of selling the VX due to our new baby. (Pull in the reigns 99VC... not decided.. YET... LOL) Need a 4 door, but want 4x4 ability too. My philosophy is, if I'm going to get rid of the VX, the next vehicle better have more power. My wife has an 05 Grand Cherokee Laredo/4x4 V8. We both love it. So, I'm considering a Grand Cherokee Limited/Hemi. Thought about the FJ Cruiser, but the power just isn't enough of a difference from the VX, and it's not a "true" 4 door. My second thought is the Trail Blazer SS 4wd. It has the cool factor (all black), Corvette power, same if not better economy, and is easy to get parts for.

    To be honest the vehicules i'll give up my VX for is the grand cherokee SRT8 or tahoe Z71

    In the luxury side the ACURA RDX,INFINITI FX35 & BMW X5.

    I always loved the two doors SUV's if a find a tahoe or yukon 2 doors with decent mileage & pristine conds i'll make a deal.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    If they still are making the murnano then I will likely get that or a Jeep Wrangler.

    I havent seen any muranos beefed up though. There is a White oe in my complex that looks nice.

    Does anyone feel dirty thinking about this?

    NOTHING! I suppose if I really had to, it would be the Toyota FJ or an Infiniti FX35, or better yet, a Series III/IV Range Rover Defender. Wouldn't be as much fun though.
