I personally think Subaru should have released the SVX under a new brand name of "Alcyone." Then it might have sounded fancy enough for us dumb Americans to purchase (I love my country, but sometimes the pettiness of my fellow countrymen gets to me  ). |
Agreed, my friend..
I was at the gas station the other day when I ran into one of my aunts older friends. His jame is Jon and he is quite wealthy. Has a nice house, in ground pool and drives a Mercedies(with over 200k miles). His wife wants to say in the high luxury standard and refuses anything else so the truth is he is the "budget" rich man.. In debt up to his eyes..
When he saw me, he stopped to say hello. I'm desssed in my emo clothes and he, in his suit. I can't help but notice he is staring at my car and I ask if he likes it. He said he liked it very much and asked what it was.. I said, of course, it was an Itilan designed Japanese made car, that in the states is called a Subaru SVX and in Japan called an Alcyone. He tells me he wants one but as an Alcyone.... Maybe he'll modify one or something? Or just replace the logo's..
