That's an interesting article John.

From a European perspective it is very heavily biased towards the models available on the USA market.

This is acceptable enough taking into account that 15,000 of a total of 25,000 worldwide were sold in the US, the primary target market.

However, it makes absolutely no mention of the fact that RHD cars and European market cars got a totally different gearbox in the SVX. This is important, as the full-time AWD box has totally different handling characteristics. There is more bias to the rear, which is closer to the handling approach of the world-beating Nissan Skyline GT-R, less understeer and better handling in snow.
