2000 4-wheeler of the year article

Just ran across this today.

No Jeep in the mix--or any Honda/Toyota for that matter. Apparently the only thing that kept the VX from #1 was the interior.

They obviously didn't know about the tailgate grab handle built into the licence plate recess? (It's like when Doug Munroe tried to enter the VX rear seat from the driver's side not knowing the passenger side was designed to slide way forward to grant easy access. What a dope.....)

It is rather quirky that way.

I guess people wish it had a button like how most cars/suv's do now. Both remote by the driver's side, and on the hatch.
