Whatcha think about that.
Look at the car before the svx that I cannot remember the name of. It looked sort of like the svx but it also looked extremly Japanese. There is no way the in house subaru designers, based on that previous car, would have come up with the SVX.
What was the name of that car.
Therefore, I consider it Italian design.

Your reasoning is flawed - based solely on opinion, nothing more. You say "there is no way" in-house Subaru designers could have come up with the SVX. How so? Based on the fact they are Japanese?
R&T wrote a fairly objective booklet on the origin and design of the SVX, perhaps you have heard of it? Have you read it? An Italian had influence on the design, yes. Does that make it an Italian design?
Here's another question: why is it so hard for some SVX enthusiasts to accept the Subaru roots of the car?
