What if not an SVX?

That is the question. What would you drive, if not an SVX? Say Subaru stopped coupe prodution with the XT. That would mean there never was an SVX. A sad thought, yes, but what if.....

Personally I looked at several different makes, and models before deciding to buy an SVX. Though honestly I had my heart set on one from the outset.

I looked at a Caddy ElDorado ETC. Nice car,tons of power, but no real personality. Also it plowed like a pig in the corners! Stupid Hi-Po FWD!

Then there was the Lincoln MarkVII LSC WHOA! 5.0 RWD rocketship! It just didn't impress with quality construction. Tire smoking sideways cornering, while fun, is slower
Same story with the Mark VIII. As a Ford guy this dissapointed me.

Then came the car that ALMOST persuaded me, The Lexus SC300 (Gen1) Loads of scoot, plenty of handling, and fair aftermarket support. Again though, the car just had no soul. It was a precision machine going about it's business.

As for the SVX, we all know this car is a solid piece. The engines are bulletproof. The trannies.... MEH. They can take a SERIOUS smack and still be driveable. It's an almost unimaginable hit that would be fatal in an SVX. Only the Lexus gave me the bank vault security of the SVX

So to sum it up, If there was never an SVX, I'd probably be driving a Lexus SC
