The reviews are a bit of a laugh, but there is solid truth in both of them on some points.
But Mustangs and suicidal Italians takes the biscuit!!!
People have funny views on things, and I suppose in a free world, they are entitled to them.
Personally I think the SVX is unique. It was even more unique back in 1991. Very few cars back then came in all wheel drive all wheel traction. Comparing it to other vehicles becomes a chalk and cheese thing.
The only fair cars to compare it to are full four-seater coupes, with luggage space to qualify as a Gran Turismo, a performance engine and fulltime four wheel drive. None exist, other than the SVX.
Let's face it, there STILL is no comparable car in that bracket. When Audi introduce their new A5 [think A6 coupe] :

with quattro drivetrain and a fast engine, then that car will be the first real competitor. 16 years later. Not bad going Subaru.
