    In case your looking for parts.
    I did...already called them...they have 2 yards, don't show it in inventory. Said, it's possible it's there and not listed on computer, but he wasn't willing to physically go look for it.

    Good find, Ldub. He did mention the Lotus rebadge back in '08. I don't remember that at all. The cladding was painted. I guess even paint on our cladding is not permanent.

    Lotus should definitely stick to making badass cars..not mini-SUV's LOL.

    EDIT

    Just read the rest of the replies..so, some douche ACTUALLY put Lotus badges on an Isuzu? You've got to be kidding me..
    Whats funny is he ACTUALLY believed it to be a Lotus, the owner of the VX has to be laughing so hard..... I love it when people ask if mine is really made by NASA (NASA badging)

    If recently, after almost 10 years, I doubt it, but anything is possible. I guess dude could have meant he saw it a while back.

    Simon also designed the CTS most recently.... any takers on re-badging your VX as a Cadillac? C'mon now. :P

    Gotta remember folks, Simon Cox formerly of Lotus cars designed the VX and even had a rebadged version called iron man made to highlight his interest in marathon running. This car is not too far off.

    That board is so bored that one of their members talk about the negativity in there with all the stupid coments.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    i just find it funny for anyone with a focus to say ANYTHING about any other car on the market....
    owning a focus automatically removes you from anyone who ever deserves to say anything about other vehicles.... at least in my book.


    which brings up my next question... why were you on a focus forum deermagnet??

    I found that thread using the Board Reader advanced search-
    http://boardreader.com/index.php?a=a&x=1

    Once in a while I use that search to see what people are saying about our VX. I use the advanced search so I can narrow it down to just the last week or month. Mostly members on auto boards bring it up in their threads for "Ugliest Car", "Worst Car Ever", "Car Design Disasters".

    I remember one person said about the VX, "What's the point, you can't wheel with it." They have no idea.

    Give it a try to see what people are saying about something you're interested in.
