I saw one SVX in the late 1990s at a Vermont Subaru dealership (just a glimpse from afar) and another heading in the opposite direction on a divided highway near Murphy, North Carolina in late 2003 or early '04. Other than my own, that's it. There just aren't many to be seen.

This is true. We have 1/2 of an SVX rising out of the floor next the computer and another 1/2 dozen 6 or more on hand at any time.

Hahaha, oh well, i still haven't seen one and im in San Fran now, if anyone wants to come by the hard rock cafe hotel in San Diego, that'd be cool.

It's been nearly 2 weeks since i've seen an SVX (mine)

Thanks for the feedback, Jordan.

Connecticut (northeast coast) has heaps of them. I see them all the time. Probably because New Englanders buy most of the Subarus imported into the US anyway. And Connecticut is expensive enough that some people just wanted to different and didn't mind spending the extra cash on them when they were new.

Biggest prob is that you are on the LEFT coast!! They crush SVXi to get 'carbon credits'. You need to get on the 'Right side' of the country to see old cars. ( That's all we can afford to drive)

Dude, you're just over an hour from me... One of the closest SVXi to me that's for sure... Then again there is atleast two other red SVXi here in Raleigh. Ran into one of them randomly and talked to him at a traffic light. And the other red one is owned by the Subaru service tech "Quincy" at Southern States Subaru in north Raleigh.

SVX in So. Cal.

Hi Jordan,
When you come back from SF, let me know, you can see my '92 Pearlie. Actually, I'm going to be in the Bay Area later this week, Thursday through Monday, for a family affair, and the SVX will be in the shop, getting its bruised nose repaired. I'll be back Monday evening, and should have the SVX back the following day. I have two acquaintences who have SVXs, but I've only seen one of them. Subaru didn't push the SVX in So. Cal, because with our generally good weather, they didn't feel it was worth it to push AWD. Aside from the one guy who brings his to the Petersen Museum occasionally, I've only seen one other on the street since I got mine last year.There are a half dozen on the Net here in Southern California, but I've been struggling to put together a meet. The director of the Petersen Museum thinks it would be cool to have a meet there, as he'd even like to see a few SVXs together, but nobody seems interested.
Send me a message, and I can at least let you see ONE.
Paul
