Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.

Is it me, or does that auto show look pretty crappy for such a large city?

It is Philly, crap is to be expected...

This year was smaller than the past years. And the main floor was little more than a large indoor auto mall.

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.

That's awesome! I really hope they have this at the Minneapolis Auto Show. It's identical mine.

And look! They put the wheels on correctly!

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.

Been watching the BRZ news develop. I'm not sure, yet, how I feel about the lack of all-wheel drive, a Subaru hallmark for at least 20 years now. At least in its premium rides. Nice car, of course, just not sure it has the Subaru "legacy."

You are soooooo right.

A couple of years ago, Rosie and I went to the Philly Flower Show (coutesy of Suby, one of the shows sponsors) and I was very disappointed in the design and layout of the halls of the Philly Conventon Center. It feels like you're in a big empty manufacturing facility except that there is no manufaturing machinery in the place.
Even Boeing's huge 747 manufacturing plant in Renton, Wash. feels better.

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.

I was super excited when I saw this at the show yesterday! It was such a pleasant surprise.

The guy that was also looking at the SVX said it had 36k miles on it.

Here's some pics I took:

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.

I guess they were showing of what they'll never build again XT, SVX // BRZ. Seems almost like a taunt, IMHO. The only thing left, would be a pristine GC 2.5RS Coupe.

BRZ may be good at what it does, but it sure isn't an SVX.

Re: Subaru has an SVX at the Philly Auto show.

God I love the SVX, but the car was just too early and too much $ for its time.
I bet if they put them out now for $35,000 they would sell like hotcakes...

The design on this car...It stays fresh. It just cant seem to look old.
