...But it’s hard to be first. The VehiCROSS was a spectacular flop, dissed by the usual narrow-minded observers in the automotive media who hated sport-utilities, couldn’t understand a high-performance sport-utility, and were disoriented by the styling. Only 4,153 were sold when U.S. sales ended in 2001.

Ironically, the BMW X5 also went into production in 1999, and within a few years it morphed into the X5 4.5i, an SUV sports car with big tires and lots of horsepower that prepared the way for the hot-rod Audi Q7, Infiniti FX45 and Porsche Cayenne. They all made it big, but they were actually just following in the VehiCROSS’s tracks...

Usually the way it goes. With most people, a good idea is never a good idea until it's marketed under the particular brand that THEY happen to think is best...and THEN it's "new", original, and brilliant.

You just summed up in 2 sentences the entire reason for Apple's existence.

p.s.
The 1999 nomad was "supposed" to be built, and the VX isn't? I think it's pretty clear SOMEONE is on GM's shill payroll. Isn't it enough that GM sent Isuzu to the trash-heap, regarding passenger vehicles?
