Pleiades is a star cluster. Alcyone is a star.

My favorite story about this subject, stemmed from dinner at a small Restaurant near Snowshoe Lodge in West Virginia.

During Snowshoe I, we were looking for a place for us six SVXers to have dinner. Down the road from the lodge was a little "mom and pop" restaurant called "The Seven Sisters." We had a delightful dinner, and butterscotch pie for dessert. After dinner, we asked the waitress (one of the owners) how the restaurant got its name. She explained that she and her six sisters had partnered in the business venture. She knew nothing about the Pleiades, nor its significance to our beloved automobiles. The irony: She drove a Subaru.

So was the SVX the only car sold under the Alcyone (name/title) or was it morea replacement for seling the car under Fuji heavy industries, since that is no fun to say. I know there is a subaru name in japan now, but was there then?

No, the XT started off the Alcyone name.

Warning - a foreign language follows..........

Allora.......

D'avvero nella lingua italiana la pronuncia "e" non esista per le gente Nord, da Milano, Torino ecetera. E perche la lingua, originamente, e propio un misto meraviglioso di Francese e Italiano. Il dialetto di Milano, per esempio, e' in fatto una lingua propio "accorciato", leggera ed elegante - ma senza forza alle fine della parola.

Ma non e correttamente per dire AL- CY-O-NEH anche per le gente che vivono in Italia Meridionale o Sud. Loro parlono come mangia, e anche questo e vero, piu o meno, per tutte le gente Italiani!

Va Bene?
