Re: SVX on American Top Gear
oh and the Merkur is just fine with a 2.3 turbo. You do know they can take crazy amounts of boost, right? V8's just make them nose heavy and handle like crap.

Re: SVX on American Top Gear
I am recording it now but can't watch until later. Sounds bad.

Re: SVX on American Top Gear
I didn't catch the whole episode, but $200? I'm glad Rutledge at least attempted to sell it for a decent price.

Re: SVX on American Top Gear
Really disappointed with the closed-minded, stereotypically American crap they babbled about these cars. I've never liked American Top Gear but this is a new low for them.

Re: SVX on American Top Gear
We know that much of it is fake since we all saw the craigslist ad for the cars when they were for sale. That being said, hold this completion in the snow and we know what happens.

Re: SVX on American Top Gear
Did Subaru really say that you can drive in the rain with the windows down?
If its raining out and I got the window cracked open more than 1" I get dripped on. Well the arm rest on the door does. I do know for a fact that the SVX has much less wind noise at 70mph with the window than my 2011 legacy. |

Re: SVX on American Top Gear
Agreed. It was moronic.

Re: SVX on American Top Gear
This was the first time I watched the American top Gear, And it will be the last. I actually have two of the cars they tested the SVX and the Merkur Both of the cars on the show where great examples of the cars and in greet running condition. As suspected they did stupid challenges that did nothing for the performance of the cars. They also kept trying to be funny and it just didnt work.
Brad the Superlative!

Re: SVX on American Top Gear

+1 for Wheeler Dealers though. I just saw their Delorean episode and wanted them to do an SVX badly.
