Ironically, my brother sent me a link/head-up being a follower of this guy's reviews. I was struck by the amount of feedback that was flying by but posted my personal disappointment. I suppose we should be "flattered?" that his review was posted but so many things were wrong, missed, and more. Personally, I took issue with the looks score. Having seen how many people flock to my VX to ask questions on a daily basis, I know it's not considered "WEIRD". I know people really like it's looks and the feedback was telling that story. I posted that I was disappointed because he didn't explain more about it being brought to production, why, and it's achievements in off-roading. I skipped posting more (to his website) but this list was posted to Facebook today:

He didn't mention :
-The VX production was intentionally low as it was a promotional strategy to attract costumers to the Isuzu brand.
-It was awarded many awards when it first came out .
-The VX won the Dakar cometition
-The seats came in black/gray, too
-Not mentioned to the other colors
-He used the driver seat side to get in to the back seat
-the lines on the interior roof are a projection of the outside.
-The doors have those indented lines, too. (adds character and they are not just plain like other models).
He called "fake carbon fiber" to the CB interior panel.
-The cladding were not just plastic pieces. Instead, they were made from a specific material and pretty much hand-made.


I'm not sure this list is complete or correct either. No mention of the special mold process, how rare it is to see a "Halo/Concept" even COME to production, I doubt he used power mode AND I wonder if he was in "Winter" mode during the test. He didn't mention the construction of the frame, how sturdy/unique that is in "unibody" days...and just missed the mark in a lot of ways to me.

The odd thing is he seemed to like it more than he would overtly admit. That, in itself, brings into question his ability to be a good reviewer. That's if you fail to notice how many things he failed to research/understand about the history of our vehicles. To be honest, I laughed at his stupidity regarding seat combinations, lack of good looks, claims that Protons were the worst, and trying to get in the backseat ONLY on the DS. Sorry...I have to say this: What a dork.

Overall, I'm guessing non-owners probably like the video quite a bit more than owners -- because we understand it much better.
