Re: Isuzu VehiCROSS
The front end looks like a snake head with fangs coming out of the grill. It's looks better than a lot of other fuglys.

Re: Isuzu VehiCROSS
No personal experience with the vehicross, but the specs look good. The 1st number is the vehicross, the 2nd is the 2007 H3 (automatic, adventure pkg).
Its biggest problem by the numbers is its weight. It manages a higher power to weight ratio than the H3, but lacks the H3's gearing advantage. Still should be lots of fun offroad tho.
Agility
Clearance - 8.5 in, 9.1 in
Approach Angle (deg) - 34, 39.4
Breakover Angle (deg) - 22, 25
Departure Angle (deg) - 30, 36.5
Turning Circle - 34 ft, 37 ft
Power
3.5L V6, 3.7L I5
215 HP @ 5400, 242 HP @ 5600
230 ft-lbs @ 3000, 242 ft-lbs @ 4600
Curb weight - 3955 lbs, 4700 lbs
Crawl ratio - 30.5:1, 56.2:1
Power to weight ratio - 5.4, 5.2
Torque to weight ratio - 5.8, 5.2

Amen to that. I'm gonna pester my dad until he gives in. My mom likes it too, so I think thats a plus. The VX uses the same powerplant and shares many features that my mom's '96 Acura SLX (basically a trooper) has, so it would be a nice upgrade.
Oh man, I love this truck!
PS: I too am OCD!!

So you're driving an H2 and your Mom is driving a '96 Acura??  How'd that happen? Did your parents buy you the H2? Time for Mom to upgrade!  |

Re: Isuzu VehiCROSS
Oh dear... 
Nobody in my family has an H2 (or 1 or 3 for that matter...). I am purely a 17 year old enthusiast who is waiting for his chance to get his dream ride (the H2). The car in my avatar is me in front of an H2 when visiting family in Tulsa. I wish it was mine, but sadly, I must wait it out. 
Anyhow, I was looking at the VX as a unique vehicle that would do decent off road as well as providing a more practical ride for a college-bound person such as myself, and most importantly at the moment, not costing 50 grand plus.

Simple solution - three words: grand theft auto. Problem solved. It's not really illegal if you don't get caught. |
