Check out Page 31 (attached) of the latest issue (Jan 2011) of "Hemmings Sports & Exotic Cars". The SVX is one of 19 cars identified as a potential collectible, as is the '98 - '99 Impreza 2.5RS.

Great magazine if you have not seen it .....

MMMM only half the page loads or is it just my comp.

P.S. Oops, the SVX part is there, just the Ferrari part is blank.

I "cut out" the top part of the page to reduce the photo size - otherwise, I could not upload to the site since I don't know how to reduce the size of the whole thing ...

I couldn’t find this at the newsstand so we ordered a copy from EBay. It is even better than originally portrayed in the post. They have 4 catagories

1) go on beat it – (not going to appreciate )4 cars, Audi V8, 500 SL, Jag XJS, Infinity Q45

2) Just drive it – (Maybe but don’t count on it) 7 cars, 300ZX Turbo, Saab 900 Turbo, Impreza 2.5RS, VW GTI 16V, Porsche 928, Audi Quattro Coupe, Eclipse GSX

3) Baby it – (could be so treat it well) 4 cars, Alfa 164, Sentra SE-R, VW Corrado, Celica All-Trac Turbo

5) Seal it in a climate-controlled sarcophagus and get back to us in 20 years - (A lock) 3 cars with the SVX being the last and highest rated. Toyota MR2 Turbo, Acura Integra GS-R and the SVX

Bob has a HUGE and important point. We need to build up the network not let it slowly die. Take care of your SVX and SHOW IT OFF! not only at car meets but also at racing events and other auto enthusiast events. Get out and be seen. Don't be scared to talk about your SVX to others and EDUCATE them about the SVX and how awesome it is and what is available for it now.

It seems that every day I come to this site, there are new members joining who are simply not qualified (financially or otherwise) to properly care for their SVX.

The reality is that the value of our cars has bottomed out, and any idiot can afford to purchase one with little regard for its maintenance requirements. They're driving them until they break, then they log on here to complain about how unreliable a car it is.

It is a true shame that some of the "enthusiast" owners on this website allow their cars to deteriorate the way that they do.

I pledge to continually preserve, maintain, and even improve mine.

I will have to agree with you. I have always tried to get mine restored or keep them at the high.

Recently I was pondering my vehicular situation and I owned-up to a colleague that honestly, my automobile budget is in the $99 down, $99 per month bracket. Keeping an old car on the road in any semblance of "collectible" condition is really a pursuit I can't afford. But I just keep driving 'em.

Some of mine get neglected from time to time with all the project SVXi I have, but I figure it's better to keep more on the road that might otherwise be junked/parted than worry about my own that I know are safe. In the end, they get fixed eventually, just takes awhile.

If I'm not mistaken, and I could be, I believe Hemmings did this same article/list a couple of years ago but it was a "top 25" list and both the SVX and XT6 made it.

To paraphrase the interwebz, "Double Alcyone!! What does it meeeeean?!"
