Yeah, imagine if they had researched the VX for 3 years. Then they'd be really awesome! I mean as it stands now, it does have some things lacking for such an originally pricey ride. My last car's doors locked 30 seconds after you entered the vehicle. The VX's stay unlocked unless you manually lock them. You can't lock the glovebox and it has no light in it. No power seat adjustments (downward would be nice). No window locks. Etc. Hey, I adore my rugged, no-frills (well in some ways) VX. The lack of a rear door popper isn't a big deal to me because most SUVs and vans don't have that either... that's generally a trunk (as in CAR) thing. Would be nice but not expected anyway. Granted none of them are a big deal and how lazy do you have to be to get all riled up about some of these issues, but for such an otherwise high-caliber vehicle there are certain things you would expect it to have that it does not. It's awesome and a lot of bang for the buck still, but could have been even better. More things could go wrong with that extra fancy stuff too, though, so probably best left off a limited production vehicle. <shrug>
I personally love the RSC design and while I prefer it I'm not someone who just absolutely has to have great off-road capabilities, but from all I hear the RSC would have been a sheep in wolf's clothing from several perspectives. I think we'll see a reincarnation of it soon though that WILL hit production.
Tone, you mean the Porsche? Capable how? Off-road? Or do you mean from an accleration standpoint? If I were about strictly speed and nothing else, I'd be in a Murano with its silly little exhaust pipes. Actually, I'd still be in a car. And my last one would've been a WS-6 Firebird or Mustang GT or the like and not an Avenger ES (which is a better all-around car, but not the fastest).
