New Range Rover Evoque vs. The VX???

[Chopper]

That old saying.....
When you're a hammer, the entire world looks like a nail.
The perception is that the entire automotive world was disrupted and forever changed in 1999, by (what was then) a 6 year old vehicle, with a body kit. (VX couldn't find even a measley 3000 purchases in 3 years, in a land of 260,000,000 car buyers: **over 1000 were "dumped" in 2002 for $18,000-- Isuzu dealers cost)
That ripples and and aftershocks from this astounding automotive compilation continue to dictate and influence the design of virtually all vehicles to this very day....
After all.....
they all have 4 wheels....don't they? Isuzu
They all use more than one headlight....don't they? Isuzu
Leather for seats? Isuzu
Round "wheel" device to control direction of travel? Isuzu
Wheels with air in them?....brake and turn signal lights in one housing?....building a car that's 85% made of other manufacturers parts?
Isuzu Isuzu and Isuzu
No S***t.....he's right!

Yes, for a crumby seller the VX did:

Win, Japan car of the year '97/98 (inspite of 600 sales in a country with 120million people)

Paris Dakar multiple-stage winner

Australian Safari Rally class winner, overall

Make Motor Trend's future classics list

Recognized by the Wall Street Journal as sure collectible bet

Will the Juke ever come close...never ?( I know never say never, but....)

How many designs can say this about themselves...damn few, damn few.

The VX was a true departure in many ways, in many ways...... despite poor sales results. Just because your popular doesn't mean you're good!
