    Are you freaking kidding me? Seriously this is not even a question, especially here..... If you want an Isuzu that will get you absolutely no attention or comments or catch any car lovers eye, then get that other Isuzu thing you mentioned that even old ladies love I am sure. If you want one of the most unique eye catching vehicles ever made, then get the VehiCross. If you want to blend in and follow everyone else get the SUV if you want to stick out and make your own path get the VX. There really is no choice though, anyone that knows anything about car appreciation would get the VX no questions asked, I too have another "cool" car yet the VX still gives me the biggest smile for some odd reason.

    The VX WOW factor is very high. It’s just so fun to drive and it gets more attention then any other car I’ve driven, it’s like driving a Porsche on stilts. Driving a rodeo is so ordinary and bland. You will never not look forward to drive your VX.

    Like LittleBeast said.

    Yeah, and if you are worried about space, like peeps have said, remove the rear seats and PRESTO!

    Thanks. I actually have a better one in there now, and I removed the rear seatbelts entirely. I bought an actual pick-up bedliner and cut it down to size. It's much thicker and doesn't smell so bad (the one I originally used smelled like tar from day one).

    Anyway, yeah, for two people, the VX minus the rear seats is perfect for me and the wife.

    I my VX. Got pulled over by a motorcycle cop today too!!! He let me off. Whew.

    I LOVE my VX, but lately I have been thinking about getting a second car so I could stop driving her so much (even though I want to drive her all the time) so she might last longer. Living out in Colorado, and with the massive amounts of snow that we've been getting lately, I'm looking for another AWD/4WD vehicle. There really isn't anything out there that grabs my interest (and is in the $6500 range-an Infinity FX would have been the choice given no money limit), but I have been thinking about a Rodeo Sport. It would keep me in the Zu family and it has many styling similarities to the VX. I would be interested to hear from Sport owners to see what they think.

    Same thing happened to me awhile back.We talked about the VX. Then he writes me a ticket and says "Don't worry you won't have to pay for it, I wrote the ticket improperly"
