I see it this way, the SVX is a big touring car, lots of fun and very refined inside and out.

So ill just take one of each
If i had the money right now i would give up the SVX for one but that is cause i would love a little more power and such and a manual for sure. The SVX is one of the coolest cars ever and i will prolly always own one though.
i drove the wife's WRX the other night to pick up my SVX i left in the subway parking lot (went to hockey game right from work - damn Penguins!) i jumped out of the WRX right into the SVX. i'll have to say, after a quick comparison like that, the SVX feels like a FAT pig. sorry, but its true. while the SVX is a good looking all-around performer, the WRX kills it in handling, braking, and acceleration. i think her platinum silver WRX is a nice looking car - its a little more noisy than the SVX, but i wouldn't call it unrefined. there's an STi in my future, when the SVX "gives it up." ......or maybe a Legacy B4
