The woman in my town with a bordeaux bought it off the showroom floor. She walked in, fell in love, and drove it home

My husband saw it in the newspaper, fell in love with it. Called all over Phila. to find one without leather and spoiler. Found one, went over to Philly and bought it. Have never regretted it.

VRKSVX,

I am the original owner of SUBYDOO, a '97 SVX.
It was our first SVX. Now we have 3.
I have to build a six car garage (one empty bay w/lift) before I can get the other 3.

Earl,

I only want at total of 6 SVXes; one for each year of production.
I need a '93, '95, and a '96.

Good luck in your quest for one for each year. Start buildin that garage, maybe you can catch Earl's 14. It's really special to be an original owner and we still love our car. Went home at lunch today, and it was sitting in the driveway. Sometimes I forget how beautiful it is.

Yes, Voorhees is right next to Cherry Hill. There is also another Pearlie in the area however ours has no sun roof or spoiler and I don't know who has the other one.

Veronica, why did you not want the leather? I can understand the spoiler, I prefer them without. But most people like leather.

Name is not Veronica. the v is for Victor (my hubby). Really like the suede, the leather is too hot in summer and too cold in winter. The suede has held up remarkably well for being 15 years old and 189,000 miles. Spoiler does spoil the look. Seems the spoiler/leather package also include sunroof which would probably only mean trouble. To each his own I guess.

Apologies on the name mistake. I must be mixing you up with another poster.

What you say makes a lot of sense. The suede is synthetic, and all the better for it. I like the smell and opulence of leather, but it has drawbacks as well. The black leather I have gets really hot when the sun shines in, bad news if you sit into it with shorts.

On top of that, it's too slippy. One girl in Australia had her car thumped from behind. The rear of the car folded up, and the severity of the hit caused her to slip underneath the seatbelt and injure her legs off the dash. Not a happy outcome.

My first SVX was JDM, and the interior was suede. The only misgiving I had was that they should have used real leather rather than faux leather for the surrounding trim on the seats. Because it was false, the surface wore off on the outer edge of the driver seat, the rest of the car looked like new. I much preferred the ecsaine because it was not hot to sit on, and it gripped you in the seat for quick cornering.
