SVX just not impressing people anymore?

Hello, this isn't a sales thread. I just wanted to get some people's opinions.

I have a really nice pearl white (2 tone with black top) 92 LSL (AWD) that I've owned for quite some time. It's in very nice condition except the leather is a little worn inside. I recently had it repainted and even more recently clear coated because I wasn't satisfied with the shine. Now, it's shines nicely and looks beautiful when it's clean. It has no dents and a few, barely noticeable dings in the side. But they're so small you can't even tell.

Being a single guy, I go out on a lot of dates and this car doesn't seem to impress any of them. All the women I go out with simply think it's just another old car. One even suggested I use it as a work car since it's so old. Currently, I'm using another Subaru as a work car.

I used to get stares and comments all the time back in the day (early 2000s) etc but that doesn't happen anymore. People don't even think twice about the split windows. The only comments I do get are from current or former SVX owners. Otherwise, people don't even know what it is and don't even care. They mistake it for a Mitsubishi eclipse or some other1990s-mobile.

Because of this, I'm contemplating selling it even though it's in great shape (mechanically and physically). People seem to be impressed with Audis or newer Mercedes these days.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Am I making a mistake and should I hold onto it? Or should I sell it and by a nice used Auidi or something. My thoughts are the car is becoming dated and it might be time for an upgrade.

Also, I don't mean any offense to avid SVX lovers here.

Thanks
