Weird,

Isuzu supplied the engine for the Lotus Elan but thats about it i think

Apparently the VX does not live up to the high standards of Ford Focus owners.

This makes me sad.

NOT

But I would bet its a bitch cleaning Focuses? Foci? whatever out of our grills.

Considering the "VX" badge in the grill.... someone from here?

Still.... it says "Lotus". Gotta admit.... it is weak-sauce.

Funny story about rebadges though.... earlier this summer, I had my VX parked in the lot by my local wateringhole Starbucks. I was sitting just feet away from it sipping on my coffee. 2 older gentlemen got out of a Vette they parked next to it, and took a lap around it. They started pointing to the "SUPERCHARGED" emblem below my "3.5L". They had a couple of chuckles and one said "They never supercharged any ISUZUS. This guy isn't kidding anyone." I hit them alarm to unlock the VX, walked over, opened the door, pooped the hood, and sat back down. They were looking at me said, "Oh, this is yours?" and I said, "Go ahead" and nodded to the popped hood. They pushed the hood up and looked. The one who was holding the hood up turned and said, "Touche, well played."

We talked about it for a hot minute before all attention was turned to their bad-*** Z06, heh.

So.... seriously.... at least be able to back up your badges.

I liked this comment:

tis actually a fun little truck if you can get around teh excursion hiding blindspots

While I'm not sure there's any blind spot in the world large enough to hide an Excursion, I will allow that the blindspots are viciously large.

Did anyone see the post in that thread saying: "The only one I've ever seen is a totaled one in the B&H Junkyard in Maryland.

In case your looking for parts.

I would refer to rear view out the back window as a Horizon hiding blind spot of course it works for spotting highway patrol planes
