With the tour pack trunk, and open-mouthed grille, I see more of an aquatic craft with a vertical tail fin than a SpaceShip.

Am I alone with this view of the Vision?  (no pun intended)

Actually, I think it looks a little bit like a fish coming out of the water. Like a Killer Whale breaching.

South Central Pennsylvania		The Ice Blue version was the first Vision my eyes had been blessed with. My initial thoughts involved Great White, ready to eat the road.

Columbia, SC		Actually, now that you mention it, I have stopped thinking "spaceship" and now I think it looks like one of those pirate ships from Master and Commander, or Pirates of the Carribean or something. With the trunk being the "captain's quarters" that sticks out behind the boat a bit, the back wheel looks like a rudder....

Wow. Never thought of it that way.

Northern NJ		Someone once told me the Vision looked retro, like it was from the 1950s.
That got me thinking "Studebaker". Sweet!

Some guy told me, as he was getting out of his Honda Odyssey minivan, that my 11 Ness Vision looks like Harley meets Batman.

Months before I decided on my Vision, I had searched the boards for other people's opinions of the Vision, and found this:

Michigan		The good news is the only time those who don't like the looks get to see it is when they catch up with us at the next stop. They only get to see tail lights when the ride is on.
