Window Sticker
I order to ignite a little controversy to beat those post-Labor Day blues, I decided to scan my *original* vehicle window sticker... just for fun

Some people will argue that Subaru calls it 4WS so that's what it is. To them I ask, 'would you still call it 'blue' if Subaru called it 'red?' Others will argue that no matter what Subaru SALES people call it, what the suspension does is not really steering. To them I say, 'I tend to agree with you and don't have a witty retort like the one I provided for the 4WS folks.'

Okay folks, before things get crazy, here are some clues.
1) John said "Just for fun." 2) John is a graphic artist and has wonderful talents at manipulating images.

2) After thorough forensic examination, I suspect you are right. The word 'steering' in '4-Wheel Steering' is, pixel for pixel, the exact same size as the one right above it. That one is significantly different than the one under 'Touring Package,' probably excluding the possibility of a very, very accurate typewriter. The term '4-Wheel' in '4-Wheel Steering' is very similar to the one above it, which really tells us nothing by itself but does strengthen my suspicion. Good job, John. Unless I'm wrong, in which case I'll be an idiot...

This looks to be the AWS model with heated seats as well! This must be one of a kind

but what about...
I confess, I was too lazy to create "Heated front seats-thermostatically controlled with switch" as it is indicated on the UK-spec cars
Anyway, my color laser printer sure does a great job of reproducing this down to the tiniest detail. I'll probably stick it on the inside of my window at some meet and get a lot of interest. I DO have the heated seat switch assembly from the UK. It replaces the coin holder in the dash on the 92's The ALCYONE was a Japan-only designation. I have the center tail light assembly from Japan which says that, along with my MD plates as well.

I picked out a few things from the picture I thought that was interesting:
1. part of the touring package includes: 2-way power sunroof Hehe man what a pain it would be if it was a 1-way sunroof. Manually push it open, then it lets you close. Or it opens on its own and you have to get ourside your to shove it back shut. 2. Full tank of fuel Oooohhh! Wouldn't you hope if you just paid $28,574.00 for a gas the least they could do is throw in $20 in gas for you. Sheesh! Ryan

I'm not buying it.
What struck me funny was that the side stick'em strips were not taken off. A window sticker comes stuck to the window, even in transport.
Plus I have a 92 and mine did not have the gas mileage on it. Looks odd to me. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. For now at least. |

Full tank of fuel
Eddycat,
The actual window sticker DID say " full tank of fuel". Maybe Subaru had an agreement with their dealers to provide this to SVX owners upon purchase and delivery. I have seen 2 other ORIGINAL stickers and they all had the Full tank of fuel entry. My only modifications to this sticker were replacing SUBARU with ALCYONE in 2 places, adding the 4-wheel steering (4WS) entry and the heated front seat entry in the touring package section. Nothing else was done.
