There are a whole lot of vehicles out there with a good bit of the polypropylene on them, and most with it came out after the VehiCross debuted. Now not a lot of it looks a whole lot like its application on the VX, but for example the Chevy Avalanche has enough on there to call it bona fide cladding, and the Nissan Frontier pickups sport some very similar styling, with the same sort of exposed bolts look over the wheel wells. And I am pretty sure the VX came out first. Not sure, but I suspect the Nissan Frontier's bolts are simulated and aren't actually functional in holding the plastic molding on there... not sure though. Like has been said earlier, we VXers do blend in a bit more today than back in '99, but I think the VX is still a pretty distinct vehicle. I don't think the new will wear off for me on it. Man, tonight it was parked in the dark with a faint glow of light on the front of it, reflecting off the headlamps. It looked like some beast in the dark, fangs bared, with eyes glowing like a cat's eyes in the night. It was pretty cool... I keep needing to pinch myself that I actually have one of these things now.
