    Great video - I think it was originally shown on one of the monitors at the International Auto Show that toured the VX02 and VX4. Some of the driving shots is in one of the Insights videos I own (Lineup video with a bit on the new computerized suspension - featured on the VX02 and used on the Axiom). I don't know if we've discussed this before, but the VX02 was never designed to have a top on it - even if it managed to make it into production it would have been severely altered to incorporate some type of convertible or removable hardtop. I'd love to have the resources to build one.

    Thumbs up

    Oh man!!!! That's like seeing footage of Bigfoot. You always hear of the stories but when it comes down to proof, it's not there.

    Great find!

    Peace.

    I'm very interested in how much this thing would go for if it were on auction too... so in a very non-scientific survey may I start the bidding?

    AD:

    -Fully functional one-off concept topless performance utility vehicle based off of the limited-production Vehicross
    -showroom condition, very low mileage
    -featured in Mission To Mars movie
    -one of the last remnants of a once successful brand now leaving the US
    (please share anything relevant that I missed)

    Do I hear a $30,000 starting bid?

    I'd bid up to around 80K ESPECIALLY if everything in it worked.

    I was doing some research last night, and supposedly it has a folding hardtop () and an in-car computer system complete with a boom-mic that swings down for voice control. But I can't seem to find any pictures of the hardtop up or in action, so I have my doubts about it's existence, and the car pc sounds a bit too awesome for something made in 2000.

    They'd prolly crush it instead of auctioning it - too much liability. Sad.
