any chance on a 21st century SVX?
Well ive driven and seen a Baja and it looks like a Brat. As with all car companies brinning back older styles with 21st century spice, do you think we will see a SVX style in the near future?

If you want a simpler argument, then look at it this way. The SVX was a product that failed (financially - in terms of its goals, it achieved those perfectly) and the WRX is a product that succeeded. Which direction is their product line more likely to follow?

I gree with Nick.
While they may use the name again on a modified WRX or other platform, I doubt if it will be a true SVX type car (luxury GT)

they could probably make a REAL nice SVX now (turbo, sportshift tranny that won't overheat, etc.), but i'd be scared that they'd get too freaky with the styling.

Allow me to share a dialogue from this evening at the Subaru dealer. I was at the service counter getting some advice on bearing replacment, and a customer standing behind me began to talk to me Customer: "I have heard some good things about the SVX, but I've never driven one." Me: "Yes, it is the most amazing vehicle on the planet." Customer: "Well I would tend to disagree, I have a WRX." Me: <laughing> My friend: "Mike just let it go." I love my SVX, and NO car could take its place. Mike |

yep i think you guys are right. In all my times when the SVX was in production, i never saw it in a commercial and once they had known about the tranny flaw, they shoulda put a little more effort into fixing it. It still might still be out today if that happened (maybe) I was thinking of getting one because im a subie freak, now i think i will find a new pleasure moble, but the SVX will be still a badass car.

Why would Lwin get rid of his SVX?
The reason why I'd get rid of the SVX is not because I want to but I hate to be associated with ugly designed SVX II (if you will) and I *hate* to explain to people how special SVX I is compare to SVX II.
Knowing people (a person is smart, people are dumb), they would assume all SVXes regardless SVX I or SVX II are all the same. Crappy design and all... so although I love SVXes to death, there has to be a limit. You all know I love SVXes. Why would I get 3 of them one after another when I had a chance to get something else. If I had the money, I'd go get another tomorrow as a little present for myself. L

On the other hand, they keep the same exterior, improve the ride (we all know it is a nice car but... really... go drive a 2003 touring sedan), definitely improve the seats and update the interior and the powertrain as well as the suspension. Then I'll keep the SVX, strip it down and re-do it all over.

Anyway, I disagree, Lwin. Regardless of what has come after the SVX, I love mine for what it is and not how well it compares to something built ten years later. Update the interior? The SVX's is beautiful the way it is. Just because it doesn't have certain design cues that make you think 'new' doesn't mean squat. It was remarkable for the time and mine is still a joy to sit in every time.
