Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.
 

They had a beautifully restored 97. It was done by the same body shop that did the 86 XT Turbo that Subaru unveiled at Sema. They also displayed the XT at one of the stops of the 48Hrs of Tristate and Melissa and I were able to talk with Hank that did the restoration and he mentioned that he was finishing up an SVX.

I didn't take many pictures but I'll get them up tomorrow.

Overheard a few interesting comments while standing there;

"yeah, there aren't many left because they were so fast that everyone was crashing them."

"The bottom windows roll down like normal, the top windows slide up over the roof"

they seem to be a little modest about it's speed and track times...

Did you catch the mileage on the Odometer?

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.
 

A friend of mine who was at the auto show send me an e-mail with a photo of this '97 SVX and he asked me if it was mine (SUBYDOO). I'm going to the show on Thurs. and will take pix. There is also an blue XT at the Suby display. I hope there is a BRZ. I want to see one in person.

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.
 

Yes the XT and the BRZ are there. Unfortunately all three are behind ropes.

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.
 

Left out speed sensitive p steering ,4chan anti lock brakes, climate control. Items only found in cars years later.

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.
 

Climate control is mentioned but not the other two but hey it has a 50/50 split fold-down rear seat.

Many European cars had all of those features many years before the SVX did.
