And to finish the Brickling / Lamm story. Mr lamm took over soa after bricklin went off to make his own car of misfortune. It was Harvey Lamm who designed the XT COUPE(an american car for an american market was his idea) which is known in Japan as a 1st generation alcyone, which led to the birth of the beloved alcyone svx as subaru took over soa in 91-92. The XT in xt coupe stood for cross platform(X) touring(T)(instead of gt for grand touring) as the xt was advertised as the first sports car you could take on or off road. Just the truth behing the origin of the alcyone!
