Read at your own risk:

It does look nice, though. I'd buy it for 7.

"There are only 2 known Alcyone badged SVX's in the United States and this is one of them"
I also emailed the seller and told him I had the another Alcyone badged SVX and gave him the link to my locker (96 Polo Green folder) "This car was Italian made and imported over." I also asked him to recheck the plate inside the door as to where it was assembled. And to further mess with his litle mind, I sent him the link to my locker for a 1992 Alcyone SVX window sticker, with a destination of Baltimore, MD in the United States. So it seems that I have the only other 1992 Alcyone badged SVX in the U.S. I wanted to ask him about his 4WS and the heated seats, but figured he could read the sticker for himself...  Now the question is will he change his ad to read 3 instead of 2, or will he look in some of our lockers and realize what a dumbass he really is?  (But I can't believe they classified this car as a "Sub-Compact") .

Alcyone
I have not been into this svx stuff to long so is there any that are out there for sure or is this just something of a myth, Is there way for sure to tell what number you go with on the door. It would be nice to find one i guess if the need arise to have it. Does anyone in the group have one of those Alcyone svx.

The Alcyone tail light panel and the Alcyone SVX hood ornament are used in the JDM markets. The only true Alcyone SVX came from the factory in Japan with right hand drive and are either there or Australia.
Upon export to Canada, United States and the UK, the words in the taillight were changed to Subaru and the hood ornament was the 6 stars in the oval. This is so when the car was released into the mainstream, the public would know what it was. "It's a Subaru" answers more questions than "What is an Alcyone?" Sending money to a Japanese dealer or reseller will get you these JDM parts so you SVX can be Alcyone badged as well.There have been many group buys here for Alcyone hood emblems, rear taillight panels, clear front turn signals and power folding mirrors .

This guy is like dumb-dumbass and not sure what he is describing.
 See if he's going to change anything...it looks good yes but it still doesn't worth 7 in my opinion

Well, In my garage and driveway, I have three Alcyone badged SVXs, two with power folding mirrors (which his doesn't even have).
I guess I could sell the group as a package for about $30K

Yeah, the car does actually look really good, but still... It's as if he's been living in a cave. Looking at the picts in this club and all the notes he's gotten should bring him out into the light.

All joking aside though, I hope he figures out that 90% of his target audience now knows he's trying to pass a duck off as an eagle.
