Yeah, I agree GM is hurting (see Pontiac Aztec). I was a die-hard GM owner until a series of bad cars in the '80s drove me to buy Japanese. When I rent GM cars, I see they still haven't got a clue. The first SVX I test drove in '93 was at a dealer that also sold Pontiacs. They had An SVX side by side with a Trans-Am in the showroom. No comparison. I also own a Corvette (a C4), which I don't drive much. People ask why. It's because the SVX is so much nicer!
Funny thing about SVX sightings. I almst never see them in LA anymore, but saw 2 in Bakersfield CA (near where I live) 3 weeks ago (Bordaux Red and black, both probably '95s). Ther are at leats 5 SVX's in Bakersfield. Heck, there was a black '92 for sale in my town last fall (population 10,000 or so). South Lake Tahoe/Reno is another place for a lot of sightings, although I only saw 5 on my trip this fall, down from 16 in '96
