The Isuzu VehiCROSS was a concept car, too - what actually sold was almost identical to the concept (IIRC, there were a couple of side fender vents eliminated, and not much else). If you've never driven one, you don't know the fun you're missing. I describe it as a vehicle that either "is an off-road beast that thinks it's a sports car" or "a sports car that knows it's an off-road beast". I say it like that because I'm one of the "lucky owners". It has pretty great handling for a vehicle of its nature. Even with a small lift and 32" MTs, it takes corners like on rails. While it isn't really a "sports car", for an off-road vehicle it doesn't do too bad in the "get-up-n-go" area. Much better than my I6 jeep. It's a very unique vehicle, and I can't imagine not driving or owning it... /between it and my jeep, my wallet screams for mercy...
