VX Value Benefits:
  1. Low production numbers - you will rarely see another one on the road
  2. Unique, attractive styling - it really looks like a concept vehicle on the road
  3. Attention-getting appeal - people always look at you and ask about it
  4. Great performance - 'Zu base + TOD = solid on and offroad.
  5. Borderline collectability - It's probably not ground-breaking enough to become a true collector's car, but has some significant advances in cross-over vehicles, and low production numbers, which could make it collectable at some point (in the distant future).


VX Value Deficits:
  1. Age - as time goes on, the vehicle will become more expensive to maintain
  2. Poor utility - poor fuel efficiency, uncomfortable inside, and not much cargo room

Despite the deficits, I believe the VX presents enough benefits to hold off significant depreciation. Long-term, I think the VX will come back in value. I think '01 Protons will be the most valuable of the group. These are my opinions, of course. Let's see how well they hold up over the next 5-10 years!
