My wife had reservations when I told her I wanted one but I went through with it anyways. After a couple years I started thinking about selling it and she told me I couldn't... she said she had never seen another vehicle that people would follow home just to ask about, and yes, that happened.
If your significant other is in to motor vehicles, give her a couple weeks riding in the vx. Once she gets a taste of other people's reactions, she'll be hooked!
