Agreed. And (while I'm sure it's been said here many times before), I believe the single factor having the most to do with "the demise of the SVX" was that few wanted to drop such big money on a Subaru.
If in 1992 Subaru had followed the lead of Honda, Toyota and Nissan and launched an upscale brand, say, "Alcyone," with refined editions of the Legacy and Loyale platforms and the SVX as flagship, the story might have turned out differently.
Sadly, Subaru advertising and marketing has been a total disaster since way back in the "Inexpensive--and built to stay that way" days.
