Exactly. There is also an error in the written article that states "there is no grab handle for the rear door of the VX"; which is wrong. The built-in rear door grab handle is located/molded-in just to the right of the VX rear license plate housing to be grabbed using the left hand while the right hand uses the key to unlock the rear door (which proves they were frickin' idiot Judges).
Personally, I think all of the appointed Judges of Four Wheeler Magazine during the 2000 competition were totally "American Biased" and did not want a Japanese Import to win that year, and thus forcibly awarded the victory to the Chevy Tahoe instead of the VX.
If you go back and re-analyze all catagories usng a non-biased points system; especially the performance catagories, then the VX is clearly the hands-down winner across the entire board. It is quite obvious and clear that the "cons" they listed (stowage & rear visibility) on the VX were merely grasping at straws and were perhaps somewhat fabricated in an intentional effort to make the VX come in a very close 2nd place, so that the victory could still be awarded to the American produced Chevy Tahoe. Which is total B.S.!!!
You and I; and all that read the article in depth, know that the VX should have been named 2000 Four Wheeler of the Year. Furthermore; in the 2001 competition, the VX was intentionally not re-invited back because they already knew what the outcome would be for the 2001 Four Wheeler of the Year award. Again; more conspiracy, on the part of Four Wheeler Magazine.
