Engineers??
What engineers?? I thought the tranny was designed by committee?
If them nice chaps from Fuji were in attendance, I do hope you gave them an earful about inadequate transmissions and the like. Also, I hope you told them a Legacy tranny is not a good fit either! You will have to fill us all in about what went down with the guys from Fuji. I expect they were well pleased to see such a devoted number of fans[nuts?] still loyal to their abandoned top of the range baby. Come on, don't keep us all in suspense. Joe

<What engineers?? >
One was a Mr. Sea, who was head honcho on the H-6 design team, and I missed the other's name....began with an "H" I believe...who worked on converting the body design from clay to sheetmetal....they both signed my SVX cap! Don |

His last name was Harada. I have his complete name (I believe the first name is Masayoshi)in the body styling section of one of my SVX brochures (Silver cover with teal logo/lettering)
He showed me why that little rubber triangle at the base of the door window was shaped the way it was and a couple of other interesting tidbits. But I will never forget this statement he said to me, while standing next to my car, and I quote him EXACTLY: "From SVX beginning, the white mica alway my favorite" PS: Mr. Harada doesn't own a flame-retardant suit, guys

I think perhaps the enthusiasm you guys have in abundance may well shape future thought in the Subaru empire. Cars take 2-6 years from drawing board to market, but there are always a few designs doing the rounds, building on past success or promise, waiting on the corporate nod. My money says that a new coupe is a lot nearer this week than it has ever been. And I am not talking about a 2 door Impreza, unless they stick a flat six in a variant!!! Well done! Joe And well done SIA, excellent hosts, take a bow.
