Is there truth to the rumor that after 17 years - it sheds it's skin and flies away - leaving the driver an empty shell?

No. I think that is more of a Mitsubishi thing!.
Oh! You meant the vehicle. Not the company!
Actually. I think that the only way i could eventually have an SUV i could enjoy would be to start with an empty shell! Or, there are a couple of Land Rover models that could work for me if i had to select an assembled vehicle.

Suzuki X90 is the only SUV I would own.
That's almost as obscure as the virtually unknown Isuzu VehiCROSS. The Isuzu, not unlike the cicada appearance, was a rare occurrence. It is among only a very few vehicles that was almost unchanged in production from it's original concept - Show car! The original Dodge Viper was another one. The VehiCROSS is genuinely rare. I have seen less than ten in over twenty years.I would have to buy one if i stumbled upon one for sale. Especially if it was inop and needed some repair.

I had to Google the X90. It's very unusual. Are you sure that you could even call it an suv? The image i had of it in my head was a actually a Geo Tracker. The X90 is even smaller than a Tracker.
I would have a hard time categorizing it into any recognized market niche! I might have seen one of those running around Ann Arbor with Red Bull energy drink livery! It looks similar to the the one i saw. Minus the giant Red Bull can bolted onto the trunklid!

The X90 was a Miata version of a Sidekick, Tracker or Samurai - only as a 2 seater - with real trunk space!

Or a Jeep needing a shot of steroids...

That's the one that I saw and remember! Or probably one of many. The Mini cooper Red Bull promo car doesn't register with me. Hadn't seen one of those. They really went nuts with a saw on that one!

You know Every Red Bull needs a Bull Bar!​

Wait! This was supposed to be about Cicadas'!?

On_Topic = ON

Well, the X90 ... Hmm, about 1995 - 1997 ... 2021 - so that's 24 years ago - just now emerging?

It's a few years late!

Like cicadas. A late bloomer? But honestly, all energy drink promo vehicles bow down before the Minotaur in the 2008 movie "Role models". That truck snorted smoke and bellowed. ba343004b5e956b65bfaa5c284e7b7aa.jpg

I guess you should be able to tell what I think of SUVs then, lol.

If I had to choose something more proper? I guess 1st gen RAV4 3-door hardtop, FWD with 5 speed of course.

I love S10s but would never own an SUV variant of one.
