I did not know that they were that rare. I have seen several around here and know 2 kids at school that have them.

One of the REALLY interesting things about these SUV's is that the stamping dies were ceramic. They were designed to stamp 5000-6000 parts, no more, no less.
I'm somewhat suprised Isuzu didn't keep going with these "boutique" cars. The dies were dirt cheap compared to steel. Maybe the cost of engineering a new streetable concept were prohibitive.

Re: new car in the garage aka VX
its just like having an Svx only with a 2ft lift kit
It gets a ton of attention, more so then the Svx even. has 230 hp stock and can drive over anything I put in front of it. And it happens to match the silver on my svx Ive been driving my Svx actually about once a week for the past yr and a half. There are maybe 2 others here in town that Ive seen

Re: new car in the garage aka VX
I've seen some before and thought they looked neat, I just thought I hadn't seen many because to my knowledge we haven't had an Isuzu dealer in our town for years. Had no idea they were in such rare numbers. I have a thing for unique cars (thats what brought me to the SVX lol), I'd love to have one

Re: new car in the garage aka VX
Interesting story:
I actually used to chase the prototype of this Isuzu around the streets of Carson City, NV back in 1997. Me and my pal would sporadically see a really peculiar looking SUV covered up with the same material used for car bras cruising the back streets near my house, and ONLY at night. It was completely strapped over with this cover but you could still see the general shape of it. We finally chased him down near my house and pulled up next to him, just to ask what it was. The guy held up his cell phone and yelled he was calling the cops We said we just wanted to know what he was driving, and he speeds off. About a year and a half later I see an advertisement of the VehiCROSS and BOOM that was it!! I guess they have guys in backwoods cities test drive prototypes for a year or so, working out kinks and such?? |
