Lavender SVX?
 

Granted... I am fairly new to the SVX family, but I dont remember ever seeing a lavender/purple SVX.
Was browsing EvilBay and saw this one.
If its a repaint they actually seem to have taken the time and done it right.

They did make a purple one, but it doesnt look too purple, its called claret.

It's Bourdeux Pearl and it's not a repaint. Check out my 94 LSi in my profile. It's more red than any purple anyways. Definately not a "lavander". WTF?! Lavander? Oh well check out Wikipedia for a listings of all the colors and everything on the car. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Alcyone_SVX

Claret is the black topped Bourdeux Pearl. AND IT"S NOT PURPLE! Maroon if anything. Really check out my profile pic, it only comes up a purpleish at a few angles.(Sorry I've just had this fight with friends too often.)

The one in the picture from ebay is a claret, it does have the black top.
I had one not too long ago.

Also, Isnt the Bourdeux Pearl quite a bit more red than the claret??

I have seen Claret and Bourdeaux Pearl in person... the one on ebay is a LOT lighter colored. I thought Lavender was a fairly accurate representation of the color.

Yes and no. It depends on the lighting, here's my bordeux in the sun then shade.

The Ebay car sure looks like a Claret to me. But Claret looks like purple to me anyways.

right
 

it is 92 CLARET

It's A 92 Claret
 

Unfortunately, People suffer from different degrees of color blind. But.... it is OK!

That would be claret. It's essentially a dark purplish color with gold pearl to it, which, if you look closely at that fender picture, jumps out as the light hits it.
the bordeaux is a purplish with a red pearl, so when the light hits it, it turns a rich lipstic color, as bill showed. The claret was offered in 92 only, and the bordeaux in 94 and up

when I think lavender, I think of that light pastel purple you always see on like...easter eggs and stuff. or like this color:o Actually, I can see how that would get confused with the ebay pictures...but Ill atribute it to the camera making the color too bright, and the fact the car is completely filthy

i agree it is filthy. you shouldn't treat these ladies this way

Okay yeah I couldn't make out the black top. The color really does change that way a lot at the right angles. But deffinately far from Lavander. Did anyone go to my profile to look at mine? Isn't he so CLEAN!. I forced my mother to use her fancy smancy digital SLR to catch it after a fresh washing. Anyone know when the galleries are gonna be open?

The Clarets and Bordeauxs really vary in color depending on lighting conditions and what angle you are at. :cool: Also how dusty/dirty they are.

Here's a couple shots of a Claret, same stock color scheme as the one in the ebay picture:
