Really, there are a ton of newer SUVs that have taken styling cues from the VX. I think on the other board there was a guy who worked in an automotive design department for one of the American manufacturers who said that regardless of the market success or failure of the VX, that design-wise ALL of the major manufacturers paid close attention to the styling. I think the truth in his words becomes more evident with every new model SUV released.

Unfortunately, the effect is to make the VX less visually unique and more easily mistaken for some other vehicle. We definitely blend in more today than we would back in 1999.
