No Scott the VX was a production vehicle with many, MANY differences from the actual concept vehicle, all of which were aimed at either lowering production costs or making the vehicle more livable on a daily basis. Adding one small and cheap item (sliders) to that list of compromises would have been easy, I just think they either overlooked it or thought about it and couldn't come up with anything at the time.

Anyone care to suggest that Tone's VX was less sporty because he created and installed the first set of sliders? I mean he's a blasphemer right? Heck I'm surprised his VX didn't explode in a ball of fire in that picture where he's airborne, it really shouldn't have been possible with those design compromises.

RIP Tone BTW. I bought my set of sliders directly from him right before he passed. Every time I take the kids in and out of the VX I'm thankful for his contributions.
