    The good side of falling prices is that when I wear this one out, the next one will be affordable.

    I agree with driver3 about the comfort. I think some of the best things going for the VX is the comfortable ride, on and off road, as well as the great Recaro seats. I too have driven up and down both coasts several times, as well as across the country, and I always look forward to a road trip in my VX. If it weren't for having to stop every 300 miles to fill up for $40+ I would probably take a lot more road trips than I do.

    The depreciation is actually one of the things that keeps me in my VX. I've had mine since 1999 when they still cost $30k+ and now that it's finally paid off, I don't plan to replace it for many years to come. It's great not having a car payment, but more importantly, I've dumped so much money into it, it still owes me another couple hundred thousand miles.

    Has anybody factored in the value of the fact that these vehicles were pretty much hand assembled in an era of largely robot produced cars/trucks? Also, the crossoverr nature of this little beast. It truly is half sports car and half truck. Porsche Cayenne is pretty much all truck, maybe some station wagon. (remember the small size of the VX is sports car unique).

    It's just a temporary "holiday" slump....not to worry, I'm not!
