Now that I know a little about where they got "Alcyone" from, where did they get "SVX" from? What does it mean?

I have a Japanese Domestic Market brochure, and SVX has in brackets after it {Subaru Vehicle X} This actually tallies with what the development engineers said it meant at the 10th Anniversary meet in Lafayette 5 years ago. They said when the car was in development it was apparently the 10th vehicle the design team had worked on, so the parent company used "Subaru Vehicle X" to describe it, X as you know being the Roman numeral for ten. With no disrespect to these wonderful engineers, this particular interpretation would be most acceptable to me if they were able to show me what cars were SV V11, SV V111 and SV 1X. I'm just a natural skeptic, I guess Joe

Another deal on SVX
In Japan the XT was called the "Alcyone", the XT Turbo was the "Alcyone VR" and the XT6 was the "Alcyone VX" so I think "Alcyone SVX" is just a extension of "Alcyone VX" I remember back when the Baja was in prototype stages, it was the "STX" for Subaru Truck, Experimental" (Was supposed to be a supercharged 2.5...) so I suppose "SVX" could be Subaru Vehicle eXperimental"...
