Rare: yes, expensive repairs: yes. Pretty: yes. they even get a little bit of "What the heck kind of car is that?" (not nearly as much as we do). the 300 gt base and SL models seem to be all over the place, but the twin turbo all wheel drive critters are rare. Same for the dodge stealth sister car.... I like the taillights of the stealth, but the front and and spoiler of the 300 GT. They have a functional downforce spoiler that raises ala porsche at 55 or so MPH.... Granted I'd rather have a porsche inspired motor than a porsche inspired spoiler any day of the week... but I think these cars are our closest kin/rival..... thats my.02
Perhaps "closest" feature for feature, I can concede to, but, it still swings far further to the "sports" genre than the "luxury." Again, the SVX outwardly and inwardly screams "I am where luxury and sport meet." The SVX's main competitor, when produced, was the Lexus Sport Coupe -- but, the AWD gives it the competitive edge, as well as "for the money" attributes.
