    I understand what you are saying, but why would you leave your VX for that? If we are playing the question that way, would you leave your VX for a jet plane, perhaps a helicopter, maybe a Chevy Aveo or Nissan Leaf?

    I interpreted that the question as the Rover as a replacement for the VX. That thing is not a replacement for the VX by any stretch of the imagination, no more that a pair of socks is a replacement for a pair of boots.

    I do get what your saying about the VX, with the exception of the head turning stares, what is the purpose of you driving the VX? Not saying you shouldn't, but if mpg,reliability and luxury are your goal, I would find a swagger wagon, those things are sweet!!!!! My friend has one, gets good mpg, super quiet, very versatile, can even tow a small boat!! Its also half the price as that rover.



    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, but seriously, his van is pretty sweet as a family vehicle.

    Well aside from the meaningless non sequitur regarding a plane or a helicopter, your position boils down to the same "if you don't use the vehicle the way I think you should use it, why have it?" I just don't find that a useful arguement. I have the VX because I like the way it looks and enjoy what it can do even in my limited exploration. There are many many vehicles that I would consider perfectly suited for me, and would consider replacing the VX with if funding were not an issue, but that list would be narrowed down rather quickly by appearance/styling, as it is for most of us.

    I've got my eye on the new Porsche "Cajun" myself. If they don't screw it up, and if they KEEP a 2 door option as a choice, I might be a buyer in a couple years...

    AW GANZ!!!! Why'd ya have to do that??
    I haven't been keeping up with my AutoWeek mag for many many months even years and I'd never even heard of the Cajun....
    so I googled it....big mistake.........
    Like it wayyyyyyy more than the Cayenne!

    We were in Phoenix for several hrs on Friday.... always an enjoyable past time to see all the monied vehicles down there. Think I saw 6 Cayennes in the first 1/2 hour.....of course we were in the Biltmore area so that explains a lot of it.

    Wow, that cajun looks cool. I still think the vx is cooler though. Maybe pick up a used cajun in 3 or 4 years as long as they don't change the 2 door concept.
