Check ebay search for 3.5 on Ebay Motors. There are several:

Infinity G35
Nissan Maxima
Acura RL35
Nissan Pathfinder
Plymouth Prowler
Acura MDX
Ferrari F355
Nissan : Murano SE
Chevrolet : Malibu Maxx
Chrysler : 300 Series 300M
Mitsubishi : Montero
Mercedes-Benz : M-Class
Honda : Odyssey
Nissan 350Z
etc....

And Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe, Chrysler Concorde, Kia Sorento, Chevy Colorado... the list goes on. Sure, LOTS of things carry a 3.5L V6, but the Isuzu version? While I believe it is correct that all of those vehicles you listed may have 3.5L V6 engines, I don't believe any of them have the Isuzu 3.5L V6 that the VehiCROSS has.

GM may have used the existing 3.5L Isuzu powerplant for the '04 Saturn VUE, but I guess given the state of affairs between GM and Isuzu, GM went to Honda for their 3.5L V6 instead.

Honda Passport 3.5 is the same as the VehiCROSS's
Acura SLX (rebadged Trooper)
Vauxhall Montery and Frontera (were the Opel versions called the same name?)

I'm not aware of any use of the engine outside rebadged Troopers & Rodeos
