The Legacy can't pull off the windows, either. Needs a lower, longer profile. If you'll notice, the SVX tends to have one of the lowest rooflines in the average parking lot. I was almost shocked when I parked next to a 'Vette and realized how low my car really is.
I agree about the "cab-forward" look, and given Subaru's conventional north-south driveline configuration (as God intended), I wonder if that concept car's powerplant and tranny would have to sit sideways.

I'd guess as many folks have remarked about my SVX's low profile as about the windows. Forget this tall/boxy/angular foolishness that seems so popular now; I'll take low, sleek and sexy any day.
