New Range Rover Evoque vs. The VX???

[Ldub]

It was the first truly aggressively styled vehicle, period. Everything else with flaring wheel arches has come after it

Ummmmm...srsly...

Yer painting a picture using a pretty broad brush...

I seem to remember an aggressively styled vehicle back in the sixties with flared wheel arches...the thing looked like it would snap yer head off & squeeze whatever was left like a pimple...

It looked like this...



IMO, vehicular sweetness has been around for a while...

The rover looks like a chrysler pacifica, with 2 missing doors & better front & rear styling...

Hey man, leave the weird comparisons to the journalists, remember?

(Sorry 'Turb... I've been bottling the sardonicism all day at the office. Figured we're all friends here though. We're cool. )

Willys/Overland beat Isuzu to the 4x4 roadster/speedster/coupe thing....by about 55 years. They called it a Jeepster. Def an icon and def moved a bunch of bars forward, to the International Scout, the Ford Bronco, the Blazer, the FJ Land Cruiser.....Crosley had a few.....Mitsu had the old Montero (which Mopar sold as well) Power Wagons could ONLY be called aggressive.
VX was the first of the new millenia maybe, but nowhere near first in anything I can think of....even Rav4s had a plastic lower half in like '94
The VX is a cool looking vehicle. (I worked for Isuzu of Daytona while they were being made. I knew I was getting one, the instant I saw it.) It has been a perfectly reliable friend. I will likely not sell it for a very long time.
I just think it more or less ends there
