Let's forgive the typos and reach a new higher ground for the VX!No worries circ, in fact if you read carefully enough, sambo actually was actually coining a new term called "utiility" - I think it's like utility 2.0 or something.

Oh heck yeah - and make it handle like a Miata too!

Again, C&D's idea.

Have you seen the TopGear episode on the BMW X6? Saw it re-aired last night. They said the X6 was the most useless car ever made! They showed it being unable to climb a grassy incline while a Rover in 4 Low flew by, and the X6 spinning hoplessly in two inches of snow on the flat. So, the VX easily tops that. How do we name a place in history for the VX? I think it's easier that we think.

How about it's the first car to handle or corner well on a wide variety of terrain and surface conditions? Comments?

The Miata is not high on my list for handling and performance in the sports car catagory. Being small it gives the appearance of being zippy and agile but really not much power or performanceOh heck yeah - and make it handle like a Miata too!

How about we just say it's the "self-proclaimed first-ever PUV"? I think if you're looking for a truly defensible "first-ever" statement you're probably wasting your time.

Well, if we are going to move from"obscure" it better really proclaim something different about itself, and since the Lambo was an earlier PUV it kinda makes the VX second albeit that vehicle didn't have 4 Low. By emhasizing the handling ability on all surfaces, even rock climbing etc. that mandates the 4 Low capability, and that would definitely set the Vx apart from the Lambo. It would then be a first to accomplish this desirable task, among others. What do you all think?

IMO...I can't imagine this topic, even in it's misunderstood form, has accumulated over 50 replies...
Whatta we goin' for here???...braggin' rights?
An absolute definitive description?
Y'all enjoy this:...
I'll be over here, looking much like this:...

blacksambo, why do you want to move from obscure? A lot of people consider the VX's obscurity to be a positive attribute to ownership.
[Ldub you've obviously figured out what the real deal is with this thread but without discussion of politics it just doesn't have the legs to go the distance - so come on man - don't stand by the sidelines and watch a helpless thread die - help it out - even if you have to talk about orangutans...]

The only thing I wish the VX had was another separate lever for 4WD-Hi (50/50 locked) mode. So, in essence we would have 3-modes on the VX: TOD (normal); 4WD-Hi (50/50 locked); 4WD-Lo (50/50 locked).

Typically cars with obscure designations are left out of the history books and subsequently undervalued. Is that what the group wishes? (hard to imagine, but nevertheles possible) If we don't put forth the effort, the Wikipedia description of obsure will stand, but I don't thinks it's deserved, otherwise this thread would not have had so much comment. We should keep trying. My two cents, so to speak.
