    Back in the day, that was a radical look for SUV's. My friend had a white one, and it was a blast to drive, especially as the the turbo really gave you a push when it came on.

    Less performance than a sports car.
    Less function than an SUV.
    Less attractive than an Aztek.

    What's to consider?

    That is pretty much an apples / oranges comparison to me - low slung street truck vs. capable 4x4 off road truck.

    The vehicles I also considered at the time of purchase were: a late model 2 door Blazer 4x4 (most likely a ZR2) a Ford Escape Hybrid (ok, dont laugh...it was only on the list for about 2.5 seconds) Jeep Liberty (probably would have gone that route if the roof line was 3-4 inches lower so it would look like it has a "stance", not just a tippy box on wheels, or the VX.

    By turning up the boost, we got my pal's to run low 13's. It was fun blowing off Camaros and 'Stangs, but it was never meant for off-road.
