    I dunno why, but I love those Mercedes G-Wagens. I bet 90% of them never leave the pavement, but they are still amazing none the less.

    "It shared its underpinnings and mechanicals with the Isuzu Trooper, which made it an off-road-worthy vehicle, but proved seemed ungainly around town, especially as compared to any of the more nimble sport coupes of the day."

    Yep...

    1...Why would you compare apples & oranges, or off road capable SUV's & sport coupes...

    2...Troopers had a fabricated problem with being tippy, therefore the VX must handle identically...

    Sure, why not...F-tards...

    It's the current trend. I see apples vs. oranges in most of the reviews I read these days. It kinda sucks the fun out of learning about a new vehicle when the writer starts griping about how the latest sports car is cramped, doesn't seat 7, doesn't have enough cargo space to transport sheet rock and doesn't get 50 mpg. Every time I read an article about the new Camaro, for example, within the first couple paragraphs I started thinking, "Sooo.... you were expecting it to be a mini-van?"

    Its strange. The vehicles that other people think are odd, are the ones I think are awesome and unique. I can't believe the H1 made this list. Also, what is so odd about the Nissan Murano Cabrio?
