Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

you have to wonder with them pulling totally out of the American market if this might not go on the auction block at barrett jackson or somewhere
Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

When i saw that video my mind just blew off, damn it ! what a sweet f^@#.< ride shall be the VX-02.
After this i just feeling depress guys,isuzu's out of business in the US & leaving us with the excitment of " WHAT IF" situation.
GM bought isuzu's stocks to destroy them & after all GM itself is about to go bankrupt what a irony ?
I'll always ask my self why isuzu ? with all those concepts cars to remain in business & they just give up.
If isuzu did just try to "GO FURTHER" by producing at least 4 of those concept vehicules we all have seen this wouldn't happening
Dakar was just the begining.

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.

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!

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?
Super VXer
I have to do it......
1,000,000,000.01
did you think no one would do it?:bwgr::bgwp:
btw... that's a very non- scientific number...
ok I'll stop now

i would bid 35k....(sticker price new)
Super VXer
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.
Super VXer
They'd prolly crush it instead of auctioning it - too much liability. Sad.

ya, it is sad...
they could have probably made some good money if they advertised it correctly...

Yeah, that is a cool video and I agree it was probably debuted at an Intl Auto Show in the mid/late 90's. Personally, I wonder what ever happened to the actual stage car from the movie "Mission To Mars"??? Perhaps, some movie executive has it.
With regards to a roof, an enclosed compartment folding hardtop would be ideal; if not, then a bolt-down "clam-shell" hardtop would suffice like those suspended from your garage ceiling (early Corvette style). However, the vehicle does need some sort of integral style roll-bar like the old convertible Shelby Mustangs from the late 60's.

Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing it with us. Only pics I've seen were in paper ads and a group tripto LAX.
