Reminds me I've had a few oblivious people say it "looks like" Knight Rider.

First of all I think they mean KITT, second of all it looks NOTHING like KITT.

I think a few people on here have had this one.

I was asked a few days ago in a car park what model Maserati it was by a guy who saw it from the passenger rear and side.

He had a good look around to believe it was Subaru, (mines an Alcyone with no Subaru badging apart from centre caps and steering wheel.) Then asked how long have they been out!

This from a guy who got into an 04 Porcshe parked 5 cars down, so not a total car dummy one would presume.
But then we have so few over here anyway, apart from the 2 I have imported from Japan or come into contact with through my business (around 5in total in l6 years) I cant remember the last time I saw 1 on the roads.

I'm seeing them everywhere now. The other day I was in Tannersville, PA and a guy in a black '92, he stopped and said 'hi, nice car!', gave me his card for a Subaru shop on Route 33 in Wind Gap..
Every day at 4:20-4:30 coming home on I80 West I see a blue SVX going Eastbound coming off the Hackettstown exit (19)
Saw a white pearlie on 80 West, with PA plates an a female driver.

They're eveyrwhere now that I have one

Yea, a friend of mine guessed Nissan this weekend. I said no it's a Subaru. "A Subaru!?! really??"

They are all over Eastern PA, I get positive sightings every once in a while, but most of the people here don't really notice.

My most recent good experience this fall, I was parked at work, leaving for lunch, and an old lady literally rushes out of the library next door to tell me how much she loved hers and wishes she could have it back. (gave the SVX to her granddaughter.) She said she's seen the car allot parked where I work but never me driving it.

I asked what color hers was, and she said red. We get to talking quite a bit and I asked a little more and she told me the granddaughter is in college at Syracuse!! :-(

I was dying to know "is she hot?" the grand-daughter, but my hopes ended with Syracuse, which is to far away.

I have gotten toyota from a family member.....thats about it. Nobody really takes a guess if they don't know.
Today I was asked if it was a turbo. This seems to happen every time I get gas Scary thing is..the guy was like "Yeah, you live down the road by blah blah blah, right?"

..once again not the first time. Kinda scary becasue theres like 10 svxi in this town, so they just arent as uncommon as typical of other places

I was out with a friend the other day and an SVX stopped at a light in front of us. He did the "What the heck is that? Those are some pretty custom windows!" thing. I responded with, "Yep. And his wheels are on backwards." (They were).

I could see the gears turning in his head to figure that out.
