HA! I met a guy waiting outside a convenience store a couple weeks ago who asked some questions. He said, "My buddy was telling me how these were based off the Tracker." I told him Tracker was from another manufacturer and the VX was closer to being a Trooper.

I would completely disagree that the VX is similar to the Rav4 in any aspect of performance....
And dont get me wrong... at all! i miss my VX and cant wait till i can get another, but i can see where they are coming from.....there are some similarities, the headlights kinda have the same slant, and its a smaller sport SUV...

My experience...

What is it......................................70%
.
Rav4............................................15 %
.
Suzuki..........................................10 %
.
WOW, a VX.....................................3%
.
Mumble incoherently........................2%

Jo,
I concur. I would rather explain what it is than someone calling it something it is not. Lol

Some time ago i was waiting for my girlfriend who was buying some stuff @ this CVS pharmacy in manhattan on 34th street and 7th avenue and this guy saw me standing near by approached me saying : "Oh,nice toyota !!! "

I didn't say anything,but looking at the CVS pharmacy sign my thoughts were : Some prescriptions do in fact causes side effects

I get "what is it?" all the time, especially when I go downtown. Sometimes yelled from open windows of cars next to me at lights. I think 3 people total have said "nice Vehicross" (including a guy at a Starbucks drive-thru) but then this is Colorado

One woman outside Home Depot was wandering around my VX when I came out then started asking me all kinds of questions about it. She loved it (too bad she wasn't single or attractive) but her last question was "where can I get one?". To which I replied "1999". She went away dejected.

Then two guys at the carwash (Octopus on Colfax if you're in Denver...best for the money anywhere) ask me what it is, I tell them, then one of them says "we were just trying to decide if we like it".

I told him "why should I care whether you do or not?". I did not also point out that he works at a car wash. He shut up and gave me my receipt lol.

It's never been called a Rav-4 though.

I'm glad you didn't. Thank you. I personally don't want that kind of negative public relations associated with the VX possibly affecting it's resale value to the general public. It seems we VX owners are already our own worst enemies in that regard sometimes.

I didn't actually think you did so I was joking too, although given some of the people I've met in Evansville, it would be understandable in some cases.

This is so awesome because you were both rude and dismissive of a low paid employee who should have known not to share his thoughts with an actual truck owner! Stupid peasant laborer.

Keep up the good work! Fighting for truth, justice and the Vehicross way!
