Whatcha think about that.

Look at the car before the svx that I cannot remember the name of. It looked sort of like the svx but it also looked extremly Japanese. There is no way the in house subaru designers, based on that previous car, would have come up with the SVX.

What was the name of that car.

Therefore, I consider it Italian design.
The XT??

Regardless of what they had before, has no bearing. If you look past the skin, the internals of the car are entirely FHI and totally of Subaru Design. Thats why I have said, the body of the car was influenced by "typical" Italian design, but the body doesn't make the car... Whats inside is what makes it... What covers it is what presents it
