This is a very lively discussion! Let's keep it going until we find a spot for the VX, and fix the Wikipedia citation, once and for all. Thank you one and all for your very insightful input.

Sambo I already found a spot for the VX - my driveway! I'll have to check out the Wikipedia entry - I don't know what you're talking about...

Zeus forget that $300 woody wagon on eBay - here's the type of Eagle you'd be more interested in:


I kinda like these though:




Some people stuff V8s in them..

The guy who built the green exo-caged one is named Curt, he owns Evolution 4x4 in Casper Wyoming. It IS cool! It has the drivetrain of an early Bronco. He has built up a few Eagles - we used to lovingly call him "Joe Dirt" but last year he shaved off the mullet. His latest project is a rat rod style crawler. I like Eagles, I just can't consider them a performance SUV... not even a performance car. Still, I would kinda like to have one of those SX4's.

Oh and here are some more pics of it if you are interested (see a VX in the distant future... I mean background? That reminds me, he said he always liked the VX.:

Jeep is an automobile marque (and registered trademark) of Chrysler. It is the oldest off-road vehicle (also sport utility vehicle – SUV) brand. It inspired a number of other military Light Utility Vehicles such as the Land Rover which is the second oldest brand. The original vehicle which first appeared as the prototype Bantam BRC became the primary light 4-wheel-drive vehicle of the US Army and allies during the World War II and postwar period. Many vehicles serving similar military and civilian roles have since been created by many nations.

Jeeps were used by every division of the U.S. military and an average of 145 were supplied to every infantry regiment. Jeeps were used for many other purposes including cable laying, saw milling, as fire fighting pumpers, field ambulances, tractors and, with suitable wheels, would even run on railway tracks. An amphibious jeep, the model GPA, or "seep" (Sea Jeep) was built for Ford in modest numbers but it could not be considered a huge success

Okay the rest of you making niminations let see some proof of your nominations worthiness and maybe we should do a poll
