Cars you didn't know you want: 1997 Isuzu VehiCross

The Isuzu VehiCross looks like it’s been lifted straight out of the pages of a Japanese comic book. There’s a fantastical quality to its design, far ahead of its time. It wouldn’t look too out of place in new car showrooms today but when you consider it was launched way back in 1997, its futuristic design becomes all the more remarkable. Better yet, unlike today’s proliferation of crossover SUVs, the VehiCross had the off-road chops to match its high-riding and rugged stance.
