If I designed the VX

[SomeBeach]

Well its been almost a year since I bought my VX. I have never had a vehicle so unique and I love it. But after a year of owning this exceptional vehicle I have thought of what changes I feel would make this an even better vehicle.
First is the name. This SUV should have had a name that better fits the design. Like a scorpion, bat, snake, shark, etc.
Then the VX should have a back window that opens so the air don't blow your head off when side windows are put down.
I also think the rims should be at least 8" wide.
I also wish the VX had a light bar like the Jeep Liberty.
And wouldn't it be nice to have T-tops like a Corvette.

Rear interior light......why was this not standard?

thats all i can think off

I'll also add the sun roof,damn it !

No sunroof makes me wonder so much.

Also the fact that the VX didn't came with factory daylights,stronger engine,let me say about 280 hp,factory dual exhaust,optional supercharged/turbocharger package. (for $ 30000 back in 1999 it made sense)

An optional 5 speed A/T would be nice to

Another stuff like factory back up camera,full doubledin radio/CD/NAV & optional 2wd as our japs countermates.

Of course the bigger engine like Gussie says at LEAST 280hp!! And the factory dual exhaust... I think the S/C or turbo would have been too much if they had given it 280hp already... but............

About 6" longer in wheelbase and/or interior/body (Ldub, no sickie penile inuendo ).

And a backseat halfsize, suicide style door, would have been cool to put it on driver side only. Oh, and the back door should have been a hatch style lifting up instead of sidewise... I know it probably would have been a big problem with the spare tire there... but figure it out and make it so... an inside release for the backdoor, with a button on the remote for it also.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'll be back as the idea's keep coming.

Huh?...what?...I don't even know what this "inuendo" you speak of is...

What is that, like the Italian word for suppository?.......

+1. That's such a frustrating oversight.

that's what gave me this idea.

I would like to have seen the roof a bit wider so the windows don't slope inward as they go up. But, that's just my $.02

But then the VX would look more like a typical SUV "box" and less like a VX, come on, I know what you mean, but I personally would not sacrifice the style of the sloped windows for the functionality, haha, just fabricate some way to make the windows work better than they do

[tom4bren]

LittleBox just wouldn't have the same ring as LittleBeast.

[SomeBeach]

So my VX is not yellow???? Good thing I didn't order "OLD YELR" tags. Tom I'm gonna change my profile to PROTON.
Back to changes, What is with the platinum teeth in the grill? I mean are they supposed to be teeth? And again the name Vehicross. What the heck does that mean? I'm going to debadge mine and get professionally done new badges that better represent the vehicle. I'll try HUMMER LittleBeast, or Isuzu tiger, or even Mighty Mite.
And another change, the driving lights should be bright driving lights. I mean Isuzu made an off road vehicle and didn't equip it with extra lights.

[SomeBeach]

And another thing, why did Hollywood not modify a black VX to be another vehicle for Batman? Stock, the black VX looks like a Bat SUV.

And again the name Vehicross. What the heck does that mean?

Vehi...As in vehicle
Cross...as in crossover vehicle
also as in crosstraining shoe...does everything well

Exactly. I understand the point of this thread, but I think changing the VX to anything other than what it is, would make it pretty boring. The simply fact is, it's an extremely stylized, and very quarky, unique little SUV that looks like nothing else ever made, EVER. And that is what makes it so damn cool.

That said, it would be awesome if the rear window could go down. I know it's impossible with the spare space there, but after all these years, my only complaint is that it can get downright HOT in the VX, especially in the summer in an Ebony. And I don't care for using the A/C, especially when it does little for cooling the interior while you are driving back from Moab across the NV desert in 95 degree heat.

I suppose the seatbelts are a little annoying as well.

The outer styling is what makes the VX the VX, and to change or deface it, is blasphemous, imho anyway...
