    I want one just because they look pretty cool lifted. They're a fairly rare vehicle (oddly enough because I seem to see them all the time around here). Originally created to run an offroad race (like Dakar or something) but in order for the company to be able to enter they had to use a vehicle that was in actual production. So they designed it for the race and then produced enough to qualify them as a production vehicle. If I recall correctly. Made between 97-01 so nothing new. About 6k made and only about 4k sold in the US.

    They look cool but actually built pretty junky. There's a really rare 1 of color made and it's actually floating around Colorado. I've been stalking these for a while lol

    Good!
    I know.. I think the new Cherokee took design inspiration from it though.

    There are actually 3 or 4 of these around me. I wouldn't mind having a lifted one. How do you know about their build quality?

    Thanks for the info! Pretty cool car if all the computer tech is working. Did well in some races too. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isuzu_VehiCROSS

    No, I've never seen one in the wild. I do vaguely remember the VX concept in Autoweek Mag.

    They can't be too unreliable. Bunch over 100k and some over 200k. For sale asking $8k?

    Wow, they must think its a collector's item.

    And for all of you that complain about the Taco's MPG. this gets 13/17mpg. Lol
