VehiCROSS in the Press

VehiCROSS in the Press

There were many articles written about the VehiCROSS in varioius publications, both as a concept and as a production SUV. Isuzu also provided several publications for and about the VX starting with the Japanese release and continuing with the US version (the promotional and sales brochures may be found in the promotions are of this site). This site segment will describe the items that I have collected over the years that are either editorial in nature. It is by no means complete, and will only provide items that I actually possess unless otherwise noted. The Japanese-release items are unusually difficult to obtain (at least on this side of the Pacific). 

It's difficult to relate the excitement of finding each of these publications - it took a lot of time to sort through back issues and do online searches - at the time search resources were pretty limited. Even today, most of these are extremely difficult to source (the exceptions being the American car magazines which had huge print runs - most international magazines have tiny print runs in comparison). I've sorted the items by release date - the two-letters in parentheses is the publication country.
