Isuzu VehiCROSS

The Isuzu VehiCROSS is a three-door SUV made by Isuzu in Japan from 1997 to 2001. Its weirdest quirk: Black plastic cladding covers the whole lower half of the body, like it's wearing waders.

A concept car that Isuzu actually built, with unpainted black plastic cladding over the lower half.
