Re: Wikipedia had to be updated

The SVX does not have active 4WS, it is a passive design. I wouldn't really qualify it as 4WS at all. Where's Randy anyways?

Re: Wikipedia had to be updated

Being so brief and so RARE and unavailable I wouldn't count it. I have a car with active 4ws and this wouldn't touch it on handling.

Unless it does this then it doesnt count lol... and you would also have to have been able to get one here.....since this is where the vast majority were sold.

Re: Wikipedia had to be updated

I didnt look at the wiki to see how it was worded, but if its simply listing it as an one of the available options, well, it was. Rarity has nothing to do with it, it was a factory option, not a custom job. If rarity had anything to do with it, we could unlist the svx as a car

Re: Wikipedia had to be updated

I have three JDM SVXes, two of them with active 4WS.

IMHO the active 4WS cars handle much better than the standard car. I absolutely love it.

Re: Wikipedia had to be updated

I wonder how hard it would be to add 4 wheel steering to an SVX that didn't originally have it... That would be cooler than adding the side folding mirrors!
