was about to post on this, guess we made the list once again, lol. They said that the Vehicross was to set a new trend of SUV's, but nothing yet. Ummmm, well i have to differ on this one. Yes nothing else like it out there, but i have to say that the VX did sure start off the creation of all the sporty SUV's out there and even cross overs. Land rover, Infinity, Acura, Nissan, well pretty much all SUV making companies. So for who ever wrote that article, they can go sit on a duck, cuz they are sure full a lot of Yack Yack. <----- (Edit: BTW, Not in a perverted way.)

Just read the article and had to pop my head in and see the chatter about it.


I miss my VX.

I never saw that convertible Axiom (page 4) on the street!!!
I might like ugly cars, because the 1958 Edsel is not all that bad, as well as the Aston Martin and Plymouth Valiant.

Have to agree that the Aztek was an atrocity...But I never liked the VW bettle either (newer styling is better)!!

We should start our own poll of what cars we think are the ugliest!!! Not only in the US, but other countries!!! I.e, my first car was a Ford Corcel Ghia II. I hated it with passion! I also dislike the PT Cruiser. What about the Renault Fuego? I also think the Nissan Cube should be in the top 10!

The author of that article simply didn't do his research and used the wrong adjective.

Rather than Ugliest, it should have read Funkiest.

...at least that's how the couple parked next to my VX in the Wal-Mart parking lot yesterday described mine anyway...

It's obvious such authors are simply trying to get our goats out of jealousy. Maybe this one is still drunk from St. Patricks Day and hasn't yet realized the no one looks good permanently wearing green.

Have you guys read this from the New York Times:

How is it that a lot of the comments to that article are dated from 2009?

Yeah, No Kidding! As much as I have searched for something similar or better, I just haven't met any success outside of Concept cars or things WAY outside the realm of affordable like the RallyFighter. I'd buy a 2013 VX in a Heartbeat if it existed (unless they effed up the styling...)

Because that is when it was written.

Edmunds Senior editor Michael Jordan wrote a 2011 piece pretty much poo- pooing what Yahoo Autos just wrote, so don't feel too bad.

I wonder how many times this basic article gets lightly rehashed/rewritten each year? Every time I see one of these threads I think okay, which 10 of the 20 or so same car pictures are going to be listed this time? And is it Yahoo Autos, Edmunds, Cars.com, Jalopnik, NY Times, or somebody new? Gotta say this is one of the weaker ones though, particularly the critic they selected:

They were selected by Karl Brauer, CEO and editor-in-chief of TotalCarScore.com, an online review aggregator for autos currently on the market

The guy's company literally copy/paste's other peoples' reviews into a single place. If that's the definition of an expert they may as well have picked any random subscriber of Motor Trend magazine. Here's an idea: select someone who's actually studied design and worked in the auto industry and let them pick and comment. Then maybe we could get some real commentary on how designs influence the industry and why some succeed and others fail, rather than tired quips and bizarre comparisons (Tylenol?).

This is what I was wondering when I brought up the dates from the comments section. The article itself is dated 2013, but the comments are 2009? Seems the "author" would at least have had the good sense to also do some cutting when he was copying and pasting the other stuff for "his" article.
