Here's my take: The SVX is Subaru's "Viet Nam." Their "Bay of Pigs." Their . . . well, you get the point.
It was something that was entered into with the best of intentions only to fall flat on its face. Countless dollars, manpower, etc, poured into a great idea that failed.
It took us years before we were ready to acknowledge Viet Nam. We're still resisting recognizing the Bay of Pigs. They're things we'd just as soon put behind us, and go on.
If not for stipulations of support, levied by the US government for parts availability on imported cars, we might very well be SOL, as far as SOA is concerned, and, in the future (barring a full scale resurgence of love for the marque by someone "important") we shall be.
