New Range Rover Evoque vs. The VX???

[blacksambo]

The Evoque will ultimately help prove the wisdom behind the VX, and the VX02. The June 18th 2011 Wall Street Journal article about the VX started the process. The VX was light years ahead of its time, it's just that simple.

I always like to link the VX experience to the 356 Porsche. People made fun of them when they came out , negatively refering to them as "bath tubs". The laugh is on those critics now, they are selling minimally for 30K plus plus plus!

I like my VX and all.....but damn!
It's a 2 door Trooper with KYB shocks and a kinda funky Body-kit. PERIOD
Just a weird, automotive footnote....(like the Farm-o-Road by Crosley)
It didn't move any bars or set any standards. The overwhelming majority of humans...even car nut humans....have never heard of it and never will. It is an automotive footnote and was a strikeout for Isuzu. They had a couple thousand left at the start of '02....anyone that waited, could have bought them for 20-22K, NEW...depending on negotiating skills. (Mine was bought at the end of '01 for 21k and had 11mi on the odo.) When the Axiom hit the market with a dull, wet, thud as well....it was all over for Isuzu manufacturing light vehicles....
It's a cool vehicle that just never got traction in the marketplace. For all it affected the automotive world, it might as well have never been built.
I like it for what it is....not for what I pretend it was
