They look like something designed by someone whose principal artistic strength is origami.
Now Dayle's two Mitsubishis are the opposite side of that particular design streak: short, butch, purposeful and balanced in proportion.
Subaru used an XT6 mule to road test the SVX suspension and chassis. For me, the SVX is the shape of car that the XT should have been.
I mean no offense guys, for me the XT is a shape that is really difficult to like.

No Offense taken Joe....I honestly didn't care much for the Xt's when I first saw them either....but after owning one for a while, they kind of "Grow" on you...and they are a blast to drive....much lighter, and more nimble than a stock SVX
