i do have my all time favorite suv's, exotics, etc., and there are some that just "aren't me". but i have respect for everyone out there that is a true car enthusiast.
as for the jurrassic park thing, maybe they were just trying to make conversation about the VX and didn't quite go about it right. it does kind of look reptilian like with the small headlights and "fangs". but then again, i've even had my boxster referred to as a "go-kart". hehe!
Being called a go-cart is high compliment. (of course, I DO get up at two-thirty AM to watch Formula1, and I DID buy one of those Vehicross things,so my judgement is questionable) I've never found anything more pure fun than a shifter cart
