Anyone else thought the VX looks similar to an off road Porsche 944 Turbo? Just add cladding and lift...
I know, random .. right?

I've seen reviews compare a VX to a porche, but i never saw it either.

Month ago or so I pulled into a shop and some dude working there was loving the VX and said he liked it better than the new 4x4 Porche, but I still dunno what he was talking about.

I know exactly what you mean as a 1984 Porsche 944 was my 1st car when I was 16 and I feel like it is the extended fenders on the 944 and the lines of the cars are similar. I think this is one of the reasons I love VX's ;-) Good call for sure! The 944 was basically a 924 with wider fenders.

I know a few rednecks back home in AR that could make that a reality! :laugho:

If you zoom in on the area just about the rear tire on the VX and then on the 944 you will see that area is almost identical on both cars. :-)

See the similarities in the fender angles? And the relation to the side window is similar as well:

There you go!

Also, I had forgotten about this model of 944 (VERY limited edition).
It squares off the back end a bit to be a little closer to the VX...

Haha, nah, although I just got done with the Projector HID headlight Mod on the VX, and I had a lot of fumes from painting yesterday, but I wore a very nice mask so I think I am ok by now ;-) I am VERY pleased with the final results and I rewired everything, especially the Hella Micro DE HID fog lights right below them. Now the fogs have a relay per bulb just to make sure :-)

Pics and video shortly.....
