This guy ain't a RiceCop dreamer on a high school budget dipping his hand into the toolbox for the first time (the impression that I get). From the get-go, this thread is a search for
knowledge, not
permission.
"Unwashed masses"? The implication is more like "indifferent consumers". The Camry isn't a bestseller because it is considered to be a perfect car by everyone who buys one. It's because it's what its buyers consider to be
closest to their wants and needs. Some people are indifferent enough that they'll sway marque to marque by price tag. Some people don't even know what they drive (a gal my wife works with took a week to sort out that she has a Honda, not a Hyundai). How close is your "close enough"?
Don't tell anyone, but the SVX, too, is not a perfect car.
As for the SVX, if they can't be parted and they can't be modified, someone needs to open a museum, snatch them all up, and restore them to showroom new before all hell breaks loose.
