    That's the way it goes with people predisposed to hating something. They will try to distort whatever they can regarding the subject into being viewed in a negative way. Whatever their reason for trying to do that though, the VX must still be a thorn in the side of some if they're STILL trying to get others to hate it after THIS long.

    The ironic part is that by periodically bringing the VX up to ridicule it and tell people it's not worth remembering, they're actually keeping the memory of it alive and well and causing some to want to find out more about it on their own.

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?
