VX in April 2010 issue of Car and Driver

[jdm monkey]

I just got april's C/D issue too and after reading the article, I logged on here. Thank god ISUZU built the VehiCross. The solstice coupe beside it is not too shabby either.

I love the fact that my VX escaped from the Battlestar Galactica universe. I tried to get "CYLON" for my license plate, but it was already taken...frak...

C&D loves a failing auto industry run by accountants instead of car lovers like the classics. The over-unionized American automotive industry deserves what it gets. I was at Fort Stewart the other day in an American rental and it didnt even have lighted letters on the shifter and it felt like I was driving a top-heavy piano on the freeway (Ford) I gave them another chance and bought a Chevy a few years ago--what a huge mistake. Will stick to my VX and my Armada (till fossil fuels dry up and I can find a way to grind up Prius's for fuel.

Hey Doug,

Thanks for your service to our Country and to my family. You are appreciated.

wish they would have made the VX-4 havin two kids now that would be so nice

C&D even stated that something along the lines of the VehiCROSS will run circles around the standard suburban van like SUV's that are the market today with its impressive performance. I think this is even on the History of the VX vids on youtube.

Just a small mention and picture of the VX showcar and production model on page 30 in the April 2010 Car and Driver magazine.

At the time of the VX launch in the USA, it was reviewed by C&D in Hawaii. Their Managing Editor was on the review video tape and said "they've positioned this vehicle for performance (Isuzu) but you really should want this vehicle for its styling. There's nothing else like it on the road today. " The VX indeed introduced agressive styling. You'd have to go back to the '66 Toronado to find anything as significant. This became the styling route all manufacturers would eventually take. Motor Trend named it a future classic four yeras ago, and Truck Trend placed it on their all-time top ten list. These current C&D people aren't cognizinant of what had been said about the VX, obivously.

I saw that and had to post a comment - I was a lucky one that purchased mine(01) new in 02 and still love as much as the day I picked it up.
I get still get so many looks and positive feed back as I'm sure many of you guys get too.

[Axelivan]

you guys are great! and so it is my Ironman Vx '99. I never gonna sell it.

Axelivan, I was in PR last week. Beautiful country! I didn't see a VX in San Juan, But did see a yellow VX parked on the street in Ponce. The cladding, door handles and gas filler were all (professionally) painted yellow. Nice Job. Have you seen it?

(Didn't mean to hijack this thread, sorry!)

Hi, yes i did saw it. That's one of the only five to came to our island. It belong to a doctor and he bought it a year ago to the owner of Isuzu PR, $15k. With the original Supercharger from year 2001. Mine came used from Illinois in 1999 and had two owners before me (poor guys, they don't understand). I work in a local Bank in Guaynabo city, very close to San Juan. If you like, next time you come to visit I can get you in contact with a friend of mine who work in car rental so you can get.....sorry for say it, a Jeep just like the one Barbie has....
And I can give a ride to great places to eat for only 4x4 owners. Just yesterday a senior citizen ask me if that was the new Isuzu, you can imagine all the explaining I have to do when I told that it's a '99 model. I'm glad you have a good time in Puerto Rico and hope to hear from you soon. If you own a Mountain bike, bring it with you too. You won't regret it. Find me on facebook as Axel I. Figueroa. See 'ya
