    The first vehicle with fangs has to be the first truly aggressively styled vehicle. period. Need I say more?

    Thanks for the address. Now I know where to send all my excess machinations. But please, here, the auto you depict was not styled by any thing other than a need to homologate big wheels for SCCA racing. The basic car is not a Cobra but an AC Bristol (British design), on steroids. That's not intentional agressive styling, but instead intent to circumvent parochial racing rules, no more. The VX was a total departure, based on a specific intent to offer totally new styling horizons; its later racing duties a secondary consideration.

    Now as far as Willy's Jeepster etc. etc. They were not styling departures. If we were that near sighted we'd have to included model "T" Roadsters etc.
    The VX was an intentional departure into aggressivism, so to speak. It most closely mirrors the wheel arches and side pods of the original '66 Toronado, but adds large expanses of ribbed polypropelene and fangs, yes fangs to punctuate a move to the next frontier. And, no, the VX just like the original 356 Porsche will never look dated as a result of its bold manuever to genuinely depart. Just look at Pepino's photos they tell the whole story, right there. The Evoque looks weak by comparison in terms of departure status. The Juke looks totally VX copycat, and nothing more. Nuff said? I invite your concerns/questions.

    I think you just shot yourself in the foot there barney...that thing is BUTT ugly.

    I'll reiterate..."PLEASE send me a BUTT load of whatever yer smok'n..."

    Sans machinations

    And why do people with a "flimsy at best" argument, always say "need I say more", or the ever popular: "nuff said"...

    SAYS WHO?...

    x3. The Nissan Puke/Joke (either slang is correct) is frickin' butt ugly. Right up there with the Pontiac Asstek.
