Namely, lack of knowledge from mechanics on the trouble areas, high cost of replacement parts, and low availability of aftermarket parts.

From a "which is less ugly" standpoint, the Baja wins. But not by much.

ditto on that, although i've always liked the looks of the Vehicross as well.

i'm guessing the Baja could be made to be a LOT more fun (Cobb AP, UP/DP.....).

mpg probably won't be much better with the Baja Turbo, as i'm getting about 15-17mpg in my LGT (90% city driving).

there is a Vehicross that is always parked a few blocks down the road, and i always give it a second look, but as nordique14 said, i'm sure parts and knowledgable mechanics will be hard to come by. i saw a silver one in the classifieds not too long ago and said, hmmmm, maybe the wife could use it.....

weird, cool-looking things.
