We're all here for our own reasons -assuming that we believe the VX is the be-all-end-all of SUVs is not one of them.Originally Posted by skewzme
It's a unique vehicle, and we're unique people, that's about it.
We don't pretend that the VX is the most reliable truck on the planet -it most definately is not.
I've had a dozen or so imports, Nissan and Subaru among them, and though they were more "reliable," the VX is more fun.
Look at the board members who are multiple VX owners -there's at least 5 of us. Find that kind of dedication/loyalty on another enthusiast's forum. These things ain't exactly cheap, and the fact that the most mechanically savvy of us still decide to purchase multiple examples should serve as a testament to our faith in the product.
Last night I fabbed up a set of (prototype, if anyone's interested) Teflon skid-plates. Today I'll drive up to the top of Esther Dome and impact test them in 2 feet of snow at -5 degrees.
Do that in a Camry -or 4Runner.
