I owned, and liked a 93 Ford Probe GT. The SVX is a better car in most ways, other than not offering a stick shift, and the back not opening as a hatch, but only a trunk.
If the SVX had a manual, and liftback, it would be very close to ideal.
I really like the Z32 300zx cars, as well, and I kinda want to buy one as another fun car. T-tops, manual gearbox, and a hatchback, and those sleek looks...
I could see the SVX gaining the Z32's sleek front end.
I'd love an NA 2+2 5-speed in blue. Either with the VG30DE tuned to 250-300 naturally aspirated horsepower... or in some sort of fantasy land, which I mentioned in another thread here... a nice low EG33 boxer tuned to about the same level, under that low hood.
A TT would be very fun, but the care and feeding of a 20+ year old twin-turbocharged car is a special kind of challenge. I don't know if I would want to take that on without a garage full of tools, a lift, and years of experience as a mechanic... or the dollars to be able to afford to pay someone else with those things.
An SVX would be interesting with a flush-glass hatchback like the 93-97 Probe, but styled like the current SVX... just the rear glass opening tall, with the trunk-lid, basically, and then the front end of a nice Z32 from the firewall forward.
