I have found that many used car guides do not mention the VehiCross. It is like it never existed. Kinda adds to the mystique, though. :-)

I have never sat inside let alone driven a Kia or Hyundai, but just from taking close looks I have been fairly impressed. A coworker of mine drives a Kia Sorrento. To me it is a bit reminiscent of a Lexus but looks better and seems like a quality ride. I like what Hyundai is doing with Tiburon, though it needs some more tweaking. You'd probably see a lot more of them if it weren't up against Celica and RSX. It's a 3,000 lb. car that stopped just four feet shorter than a VX in braking tests, by the way.

At my workplace, we have a Trooper, a Rodeo, and a VX in the parking lot. It's a smaller business, so Isuzu is well-represented. What I'd like to know is if the VX in some way caused the Trooper sale. :-)
