Personally it's not like I'm holding onto and fixing my SVX that in hopes some day down the line it may be worth some money.. I like it for what it is and want to enjoy it for myself. I could really care less what anyone else in the world thinks of it both value wise or from any other stand point. I love the car and that should be the bottom line.

If you're in it hoping the car may be worth something someday, you're in it for the wrong reason.

these guys get it.

was everyone thinking the SVX was going to get the ass-kissing treatment that Motortrend gives a BMW?

the show started out slow, but i'm finding the later episodes to be kinda funny. if you realize its not Top Gear UK (they seem to not even "seriously" review cars, or do the big star small car thing anymore), and just three knuckleheads hooning around in a car challenge of some sort for entertainment purposes. once you realize this, its not a bad show. it sure beats the hell out of "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo", "Annoying Housewives of _____", or other crap reality shows.
