It all starts here

This thread is about the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the SVX in 2017.
The SVX 10th Anniversary Meet was held in Lafayette, Indiana in July of 2002. which was also the home of Subaru Isuzu Automotive (SIA), now known as Subaru Indiana Automotive. It was a resounding success (96 SVXs came and more than 100 people).
Many automotive sources are indicating that the Lafayette plant will be producing a new 2 door sports coupe (possibly hybrid) to their lineup in 2017, mainly for the US Market. The project is currently referred to as the SVX, but that name could change before production.
So it seems appropriate that the 25th Anniversary Celebration should be held in Lafayette at SIA, where the new generation will roll off the production line 25 years after the first SVX. Would be fantastic to watch that car actually roll off the line.
Production scheduling and details are still unavailable, but it if inferred that production could actually begin in late fall, 2016, as a 2017 model.
So if this is the way we want to proceed, we would first need the initial production date as a starting point. Once that happens, we can start a poll of available dates for the meet.
If an SIA plant tour is to be a definite part of this, then tour arrangements have to be factored in. The tour information for 2016 is in the next post. The updated 2017 tour schedule will be posted when it becomes available.
