    I just read in my new Four Wheeler magazine that Toyota anounced they will be putting this vehicle into production! Yippee

    Thumbs down Mini Cooper 4X4

    Relax: It's like a Mini Cooper on Steroids. Until they tell me about the crawl ratio- front suspension & drop a diesel in it, I will stick with the VX ;boreg;
    Neither ordinary or extraordinary, just indefatigable.

    Lego-mobile

    This reminds me of trying to make a car with legos and you can never get the fenders to actually round. I do not like that look much at all. I love the fat curves of the VX's fender flares, it creates a bigger meaner stance. This vehicle that is looking like a Honda Ele-meant-2-b-a-cool-car-but-falls way short and looks more like a five year old should be pushing it around on his play mat before nap time. I didn't think there could be a more annoying fender area than a Honda Ele-meant, but looks like I was wrong. But it's still just a car and just a concept car at that. I think the VX is the only car that actually looks better (way better) than the concept car it came from.
    In Christ,

    I much prefer the looks of a Hummer to that. And it may be pretty awesome for all I know, but I'm not really drawn to it. Kinda like Porsches are for me. No doubt they rock and I bet I'd love driving one, but they've just never much appealed to me when it comes to aesthetics. Not that they're ugly or anything.

    Now the VW Concept T looks SWEET. I like the Toyota RSC concept too (looks like a bad-arse lunar rover too), but if they ever built it I think the design should be cleaned up a bit because it was a just a little too busy.

    Yeah, boxy sucks. I think it is part of this retro trend the entire automobile industry seems to be going through. Even the new audi's look boxy on the front with the huge grill. The trend will have definitely jumped the shark the day we get a lambo that looks like a volvo.
