If I designed the VX

[SomeBeach]

Well its been almost a year since I bought my VX. I have never had a vehicle so unique and I love it. But after a year of owning this exceptional vehicle I have thought of what changes I feel would make this an even better vehicle.
First is the name. This SUV should have had a name that better fits the design. Like a scorpion, bat, snake, shark, etc.
Then the VX should have a back window that opens so the air don't blow your head off when side windows are put down.
I also think the rims should be at least 8" wide.
I also wish the VX had a light bar like the Jeep Liberty.
And wouldn't it be nice to have T-tops like a Corvette.

Rear interior light......why was this not standard?

thats all i can think off

I'll also add the sun roof,damn it !

No sunroof makes me wonder so much.

Also the fact that the VX didn't came with factory daylights,stronger engine,let me say about 280 hp,factory dual exhaust,optional supercharged/turbocharger package. (for $ 30000 back in 1999 it made sense)

An optional 5 speed A/T would be nice to

Another stuff like factory back up camera,full doubledin radio/CD/NAV & optional 2wd as our japs countermates.

Of course the bigger engine like Gussie says at LEAST 280hp!! And the factory dual exhaust... I think the S/C or turbo would have been too much if they had given it 280hp already... but............

About 6" longer in wheelbase and/or interior/body (Ldub, no sickie penile inuendo ).

And a backseat halfsize, suicide style door, would have been cool to put it on driver side only. Oh, and the back door should have been a hatch style lifting up instead of sidewise... I know it probably would have been a big problem with the spare tire there... but figure it out and make it so... an inside release for the backdoor, with a button on the remote for it also.

That's all I can think of right now, but I'll be back as the idea's keep coming.

that's what gave me this idea.

I would like to have seen the roof a bit wider so the windows don't slope inward as they go up. But, that's just my $.02

Huh?...what?...I don't even know what this "inuendo" you speak of is...

What is that, like the Italian word for suppository?.......

LOL... you got suppository on the brain being so old and all... need an instruction manual to tell you how to "uninstall" it?

Nope...got that part handled, but thanks for the offer...

I downloaded "uninstall 2.0", & everything came out OK...

And wouldn't it be nice to have a little more glass in the rear to improve visibility. And a nice stripe paint scheme. I really hate the name. Maybe Isuzu should have named it the Beast, or Little Beast. Even calling it an Isuzu Ldub would be better.......

Innuendo -

1. an indirect intimation about a person or thing, esp. of a disparaging or a derogatory nature.

2. Law.
a. a parenthetic explanation or specification in a pleading.
b. (in an action for slander or libel) the explanation and elucidation of the words alleged to be defamatory.
c. the word or expression thus explained.

3. a postural representation after consuming vast quantities of "Chocolate Moonkies". The modern coloquialism often refers to this as being 'shat faced' or 'on yer arse'

Back on topic: Windows that work, Tranny dipstick, seats 1" lower, glass headlights (but keep the horns), hood inserts that don't crack, rear view mirror mounted to headliner instead of windshield.

BTW SomeBeach, change your profile. You drive a Proton, not a 'Yellow' VX.

"Oh, and the back door should have been a hatch style lifting up instead of sidewise... I know it probably would have been a big problem with the spare tire there... but figure it out and make it so..."

iamironman - You read my mind - I've been thinking along those lines for a long time now. I need to get off my arse & start looking into how I can make it happen.

So you were able to G Y H O O Y A?

[dietz99vcross]

Simple things like a rear door release, making the windows go down an extra 1/2" so they are completely out of the way, and an extra inch or 2 of room to get in and out of the back seat.

I'm a gonna step back from this part of the thread jack & let it go...

My apologies to the entire world...

"making the windows go down an extra 1/2" so they are completely out of the way"

????

I'll have to check but I'm pretty sure mine go all the way down.

"an extra inch or 2 of room to get in and out of the back seat."

Yup - woulda been nice ... but we fixed that with Tone's seat sliders.

[tom4bren]

"don't Tone's sliders take away from the front passenger legroom?"

It basically moves the mounting features for the seat forward. So yes, if you typically keep the seat pushed all the way back, you'll lose that same amount of front seat leg room. If you typically don't have the seat adjusted all the way back, you lose nothing.
