The mysterious 94 LE...
Hey gang, another member and I are having a friendly discussion over the existence of 1994 SVXes that came stock with the automatic seatbelts found on 92 and 93 models.
Most of us have seen 94's with manual seatbelts. But if I remember correctly at least one member was discussing something about a 94 model with auto belts and maybe only one airbag as well on here a while back. I forgot the thread, etc. I did a little research at subaruparts.com and looked at the 94 parts diagrams. They actually have 2 separate diagrams for seatbelts for 94's. One shows the manual belt system, and the other shows the old autobelt system.:confused: On the diagrams it states the manual belts fit L, LS, and LSI, while the auto belts fit LE. Beyond that, when one looks at the diagram for the top piece of the dashboard, again, there are two separate model numbers, one for L, LS, and LSI, and another for LE. This is the piece that would be different depending whether or not there is a passenger airbag, so it lends itself to the theory that the LE had none. Of course, subaruparts could be wrong. So does anyone have a factory brochure or some literature to back the claim that Subaru actually put out FOUR different models in '94, one of them more like a 92/93? Or better yet, are there any members out there with one of these mythical '94 LE's with the autobelts? :confused: Inquiring minds want to know... |

Yeah, Huck, yours and Leo's were the two 94 L's that I was using for my info. I've driven both and neither had autobelts, both had driver and pass's airbags. Of course, until I sent Joe Spitz an e-mail, he had the 92 listed with a 50/50 split rear seat. :rolleyes: Lwin, how 'bout your 94 L, did it have autobelts? |

On Joe Spitz's site way at the top of the options, etc page for the 94, he does mention in a sentence before the charts that in EARLY 1994 models there was only a single airbag. I wonder if production number is more of an issue than model designation? But like Randy said, Joe's site isn't necessarily written in stone either. Who knows? The truth is out there... |
Hmm... What about Canadian spec? They wouldn't have to put up with autobelts, would they? B.

We Canucks were deprived of a few of the NY SVXes, according to a dealer I talked to.
I don't recall seeing a 93 or a 95 advertised used. On the 94's, If I remember correctly, we didn't get the auto-belts. In the 92's, they were auto-belts. I think the only difference between a CDN and a US spec'd car is the dashboard, a few of the relays (for daytime running lights and a few other things), and the butt warmer. VK Quote:

I had this talk with Eddycat about LE model. ANd he got pretty ticked when I told him that LE exist. I have no idea what the LE is supposed to look like. My insurance company initially thought I had a 94 SVX - LE. Further more, I went to the SUBY dealer and used the star system. On the system, parts for LE does show up and exist. I asked the parts manager and he told me that they don't have LEs in the US but the on the part catalogue (star system) the parts are there. Usually the LE parts are the same as the parts for L... So the LEs will have cloth/leather seats. Leather interior (not seude) and gray plastics.

Sometimes car companies create special editions (Anniversary Edition, Winning Team Edition, etc.) for special occasions or to spur sales. Sometimes its done by all the dealers in a region. The usual way this is done is to add a mix of options in a special package and make that pkg. only avaiable on a special model then call it some kind of special model with its own badges. Buick is known for this, but all makes have done it.
Maybe Subaru did this to spur flagging sales. After 2 years on the market Subaru knew they had a sales lemon and I'm sure that they tried everything they could to sell the SVX. Larry III |
