Re: Car and Driver continues its distain for the SVX

It's one of the best cars I have ever driven when it comes to sight lines and overall visibility.

And of course, it neatly gets around the problem that without the badges, almost all cars today look pretty much the same

There are a few that do and all the rest of them are major expensive maybe with the exception of the DeLorean, and it was enough!

Also many of the super expensive cars have the "pug nose" that Subaru got laughed out of town for...

They do complain about everything else though... just how awful the car is to actually sit in, get out of, get in, back up, etc. etc. The only time it actually is enjoyable is going forward... very fast.

I also remember James May struggling and tripping getting out of one...

Yeah they did lol but I was just talking in general about people complaining about the split window...I didnt mean Top Gear specifically, sorry about the confusion

So I guess that means we all have a fast expensive exotic then?
