Alcyone is more of a brand name of Subaru/FHI. It's like Acura to Honda kind of deal but never truely took off.

The cars which holds the badge alcyone are:

XT/XT6
SVX S3/S4/S4II/L/E (all are non USDM models ... In US it's sold as Subaru SVX (L/LS/LS-L/LSi/LE))

Amadeus (prototype -- check in my locker for photos)
Alcyone was a model name rather than a brand name. The JDM XT was the Subaru Alcyone and the SVX was the Subaru Alcyone SVX. Although most Japanese refer to the SVX as just Subaru Alcyone.

SVX models were: L/E/S40/S40II/S3/S4.

Also here is a picture of another one-off JDM SVX, shown at the 1991 Tokyo Motor Show. Notice the green ecsaine seats.
