Biggest reason it didn't take off was cause Subaru didn't make a twin turbo version. All the performance class counter parts had it but not this. Could you imagine a factor twin turbo SVX. Probably do 10 flat in the 1/4. It kinda falls under why they didn't offer different trannis after they started making stronger ones. Oh and the big money answer for it not taking off is just that money! $30K+  I know the original owner of my car and he payed $34k for my 94 LSi Bourdeux Pearl. They could sell enough cause of the price and the fact is was too specialized without enough one thing or the other. Hope that clears what happened on that end.
