No, Subaru is not going to build the Amadeus. I think they built the concept much in the same way that John Travolta started working on Battlefield Earth's sequel before the first one was even released.

Which is to say, they were a little overly optimistic. If the SVX had been well-received, I'd call the Amadeus at least a good try at an interesting experiment. But since the SVX was not the rousing success it should havebeen, nobody cared that they made a hatchback-wagon version just for grins.

I agree with Troy - the styling on the Amadeus is probably something like what we would have seen had Subaru continued building the SVX and restyled it in the mid-90s.
