It has that blend of fun, macho, and futurism that not many other 4x4 has. There are many concept cars better than this one, but for production models, no other 4x4 even comes close to this baby in terms of design Nice car, I’ve always liked it since I saw one in Shutokou Battle 01 years ago.

During the economic turmoil in the year 1997-1999, there are hundreds of these Vehicross stockpiled in Kinabalu Motor Assembly stockyard in Inanam, Kota Kinabalu...I've seen and even test drove one of those units there....Very futuristic and modern in design, although it share the same platform and engine with the isuzu bighorn/trooper SWB version...These Vehicross were supposedly awaiting to be sent to some Asean countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Philipines, Thailand and to some Arab countries... In Malaysia at that time, the selling price, from what I remembered was about RM185K...Quite expensive at that time....competing direct with Ssangyong Korrando... Due to poor response, I heard the Vehicross were sent back to Japan...:( Hiii…

Didn't think of asking about the price then because I wasn't interested in buying it. Thing is RM100k+ for the VehiCROSS on eBay is expensive because when it first went on the market it was less than RM200k and that was ten years ago. Nice car but no matter what the mileage, definitely not worth RM100k+ now. Spare parts will become a problem too. Three years ago, I saw one at one of the second hand car lots in Taman Megah.

If you want a futuristic car, this is the closest ever to a production run. I remember watching a sci-fi movie where they used the VehiCross too! But they chopped off the roof and turned them into a SUV roadster. Sure looks cool. I’ve seen 2-3 in the “metal”. If you want a futuristic car, this is the closest ever to a production run.
