Well, the writer probably means that the SVX was unsuccessful. In that it didn't make Subaru any money, sure. But the sentence says that the windows were implemented unsuccessfully, and that's just not accurate. Why are the windows the way they are o nthe SVX?
1. Larger windows for better visibility. Success.
2. Upper glass can the be curved to blend with the roof better. Mission accomplished.
3. Passengers dont get wet with windows open in the rain. Sure, check, even though I think that this had to be made up by an SOA marketing guy.
How is this unsuccesful?

4. Less air turbulence. I actually enjoy driving with the windows down in the SVX. Not so in my other cars.
