What is VehiGAZ replacing his VehiCROSS with?

[Riff Raff]

ya, the RSC is amazing looking....
also, look up the toyota A-Bat....

Ok, I just looked at both the Toyota RSC and the ABAT concepts. Here's my opinion of both:

The RSC looks more like a Nissan 350Z with a body-kit and huge fender flares. Strip away the wide fender flares, and it's got Nissan 350Z contour lines all over it. It would probably make a good road-rally/winter-snow vehicle like a Subaru WRX; however, a true off-road vehicle it is not. In addition, the back window treatment design looks like a fish-bowl. Plus, it's built on the really cheesy 2001 RAV4 platform (oh boy, now I'm really impressed - NOT!!!). Sorry, but no thanks.

The ABAT looks like a cross between a Chevy Avalanche (ugly) and the Hot Wheels 1964 "Deora" (which had the surf boards). Again, more of a road-rally/winter-snow vehicle and not true off-road capable at all. Not impressed.

I'll stick with the Hummer HX/H4 for true go anywhere off-road capability!!! Build it, and I'll buy it.

i cant believe there is this much hype about the HX....go buy a GM, so when you go to do any electrical upgrades it costs you 3x as much...(i install car electronics at best buy)....and secondly you can get your *onstar crap, which basically just means that when you get in an accident one day they can go back and track EVERYTHING you have ever done with the car....so, they get a reading that says that you are heating your car up and using the 4wd more than usual (your offroading)....now when you get in an accident because your car isnt performing at its upmost, you get blamed for it.....GREAT IDEA!!!!

oh, and right after you buy it and something breaks...oh wait chrysler/gm is out of business...uh oh!!!! with them balancing on bankruptcy like that i would never buy one of their products.....their shares have dropped to almost nothing in the past year...they arent doing very well...



+1 for the FJ.....go wheeling with your VX compared to jay dunfords FJ and tell me that the FJ isnt a great vehicle...

PBKID-- Thanx for the compliment about the FJ's. The FJ is my other 4WD. The "Original & Legendary", a prestine 1978 FJ-40 that I've owned since new.

I would like to add that the RSC was a 2001 concept and the 350Z came afterward. But, either way, I want what your smoking cuz I don't see anything Nissan on that car, AT ALL!

X2 - The 350Z is a nice looking sports coupe, but the RSC looks WAY cooler than the 350Z, and the 350Z ain't going off road anytime soon.
