The have the wide stance I like, wheel flares/trim, spoiler, two-tone interior, appearance inside/out that I like. When I really think about it, it's what I WISH a 2-dr Jeep would have looked like.
I think that means I'm down to choosing between an Escape/Tribute or a Vehicross. I'm not sure how many issues would exist with a 100k mile Escape, but the prospects for a VehiCross sound MUCH worse.
So, talk me out of my new love and send me back to my boring-old-4-door-SUV world....Or, explain to me how GREAT owning a VehiCross can be!
