Big failure on the Typhoon picture. That was NOT a Typhoon...

I noticed that too, just sent them an email requesting a correction.

I dunno why, but I love those Mercedes G-Wagens. I bet 90% of them never leave the pavement, but they are still amazing none the less.

"It shared its underpinnings and mechanicals with the Isuzu Trooper, which made it an off-road-worthy vehicle, but proved seemed ungainly around town, especially as compared to any of the more nimble sport coupes of the day."

I have always loved those G wagons too. If they weren't so darned pricey!

I hate it when people talk about stuff,they know nothing about!

Its strange. The vehicles that other people think are odd, are the ones I think are awesome and unique. I can't believe the H1 made this list. Also, what is so odd about the Nissan Murano Cabrio?

Yep...

1...Why would you compare apples & oranges, or off road capable SUV's & sport coupes...

2...Troopers had a fabricated problem with being tippy, therefore the VX must handle identically...

Sure, why not...F-tards...

John,

Did you give your permission for them to use your pic? Yikes

sports coupes?????? Forbes, what a dumb statement...

Makes you wonder just what kind of passion that Forbes article contributor has for anything that isn't based on monetary value.

Admittedly, it would be nice if the value of my VX had continued to go up since I bought it, but the fact that it hasn't (up till this time anyway) still doesn't have me considering selling it any time soon just because the depreciation value graph line is inversely approaching the Blue Book value graph line.

I suppose things like this will always be relative depending on the crowd a person runs with too though. I mean, it's not difficult to imagine that particular Forbes contributor drives a $150k sedan to work...and...how it most likely blends in identically with all the other $150k sedans in the same parking garage.

Eh, to each their own.

Ya' know, "they" can bag on the look/styling of the VX all they want - I'll admit it's not for ever'body. But it's pretty damned nimble as far as I'm concerned, even/especially with stock wheels/tires and no lift. I've thrown my around pretty hard into some corners and NEVER ONCE felt like I was at risk of rolling it. It ain't no rocket sled, granted; but once you get used to using your sideview mirrors (and downshifting from D to 3rd) I consider it VERY nimble. I'd bet a cookie that the retard that wrote that tome has NEVER EVER stepped foot inside a VX, let alone driven one...

I bet a cake that the writer never saw a VX in person, never researched the vehicle (why should he?, I guess). But again, that would constitute a form of intellgence obviously frowned upon by the Forbes editors and/or their perceived audience. The VX IS unusual, odd, unique depending on one's perception, but the rest is just hoooey. Rant over.

Soooooooooooooo,

Wheeeeeeee.. that SUV is SO ODD! Look at all that cheap plastic. Is it a RAV? .

Just Funnin'

No - guess they pulled it from Wikipedia. I don't have a problem with it.
