All I can say is that I get a lot of compliments from people about the VX. I've had people take pictures of it, ask where they can buy one, even offer to buy mine. Most common is "ITS A 2001? I THOUGHT IT WAS NEW!" Funniest were two young girls staying abreast of me and I could see the driver's lips mouthing, "What the hell is it?" They were so busy staring at it that I thought they would rear-end the car ahead of them.
