Here is one that you never saw any day.

Isuzu Vehicross. I'm pretty sure that these qualify as unicorns.Vehicross. Found on Philly CL.

BTW, NMNA.

Wow. That is absurdly cheap.

yeah it is and thats one of my want to own cars. Waiting on news of a local job, if I got it this could be my commuter because fuel econ wouldn't matter....hmmm..

Smells scammy.

and people have the audacity to call the aztek ugly...

This area is a hotbed of those things. I used to see 2 or 3 of them on a regular basis, even in the last 5 years. Lately I've only seen a black one around town, but it gets driven regularly.

That's the cheapest I've ever seen one.

@ Jim yeah, that's one I would enjoy for a winter beater/daily.

I think I've seen exactly one of those on the road...

I lust after these. So futuristic. How bad could it be?

There's an Ironman Edition running around here as well as a yellow one. Interesting headlights and surprisingly not bad looking in person.

I've never heard of - much less seen - one of these.
Huh.

Simply the ugliest mass-produced vehicle ever to assault the public. And in this case, I'm calling anyyhing above 1 unit per year mass-produced.

In reply to DrBoost: Definitely not the ugliest. The early Azteks were worse, and they aren't the ugliest either.

I think they are pretty neat, but the rear hatch hump doesn't flow with the rest of the design.

I remember reading that the design was at least partiality inspired by spite or a dare. IIRC, Isuzu had a concept vehicle similar to the vehicross, a senior designer at GM told the Isuzu designers that they could never actually produce a vehicle like that because of all the compound curves. The Isuzu execs didn't take well to GM execs telling them what they could and couldn't build.

I don't think these are actually bad. I know the cats are prone to going bad, and they're absurdly expensive. You can get a cheap one with bad cats if you're ready to pounce at the right time.

I passed up a nice one for $1000 with bad cats a few years back because i got some absurd quote to replace them, and i didn't know any better at the time.

Knowing what i know now, i'd just be throwing a custom cat-less exhaust and a megasquirt at one and roll. These have that Isuzu V6 that i have a hard-on for, for not weighing a damn thing, and having a GM 60 degree pattern, so any transmission ever bolts to it.

I haven't really heard anything else bad about them, and they look ridiculously butch with a mild lift and big knobbies.

9/10, would supercharge.

Quite what I'm thinking. If I get this new job my commute goes from 70 miles to 20 so I'm already planning to trade the Abarth on a new car for the wife and get something "interesting" to daily. I still have the Marauder as backup but want a winter/all around car. Despite some people's opinions I love the look of these and would love to own one so it would be a good fit if this job comes through and I wouldn't care so much about it that I wouldn't drive it in the slush, snow and salt.

I really want one of these!

they're not that rare. There are several running around KC, I know. There are definitely rarer cars of the same era. Rarer isuzus, arguably.

This and the x-90 are on my weird want list.

Edit: and 4100 over four years makes it pretty rare.

My thoughts exactly

I thought I was the only one who wanted one of those... Another one that is never cheap when they pop up for sale.

I saw about 10 of these in Yellow, and lifted... At my local off road park back when they were newish. I think they stayed out in the open areas, as I didn't see any body damage on them, or much dirt, for that matter. Probably one of the stranger sights I have seen.

Used to live in a neighborhood where a yellow one parked on the street regularly. I dig them.

Speaking of weird isuzus, anyone want an Axiom to go with your Vehicross?

Axiom

NMNA

Wasnt the vehicross the us version of russias lada/chevrolet niva? Like a modern samurai... theres still a decently clean one running around my town. I still get excited everytime I see it

There's a white one that lives down the street from me. I love it, it looks like it escaped from a 1985 movie about the 21st century.
