Thanks for the "Down Under" diesel perspective. Yes, diesels sure have their place, but to retro convert a VX would seem a shame. It's not that much different than the "debadging" that goes on with the VX's. It's just a shame, and once it's done it's mostly done for the whole life of the vehicle (they never get changed completely back). I've owned ancient Porsches and let me tell you, later on down the road people are most always sorry that any body ever modified any thing versus the "original" design. Especially, from a price valuation standpoint, originality is everything. But I realize that you sometimes can't live with driving just "originality" and the urge to change things dictates where you are going to take your vehicle...that's why they made chocolate and vanilla. You've got to have a choice...it is afterall the American way.
