Re: Manual Trans SVXi Imported to US?

700 top-of-their-line cars built for "test purposes", by a car company that was selling those cars at a loss to begin with? I'm sorry, it doesn't wash. SEVEN cars, maybe.

As for the early WRXi with manuals: they weren't exactly renowned for the reliability of the gearbox. It wasn't quite up to the task.
