My first answer would be a question: "By who's standards?"

By the automotive world, at large, I don't know that the SVX would make "classic" status. By Subaru's standards, it's already a bastard stepchild and they'd just a soon forget it ever happened, apparently. This is very, very sad.

When I pick up various automobile magazines, or look through the "Great Japanese Cars" coffee table books at Books-a-Million, I literally STARVE to see a picture of an SVX -- to no avail.

But, as long as this group of enthusiasts can stay together, and the "official" SVX World Network (details to come) begins to form and grow and promote and cajole and educate and push and push and push . . . then, the car will hold classic status for those of us who know and appreciate it and, possibly, in the automotive world at large, once we introduce them and prove to them that they've missed a jewel in the automotive crown.
