what has your svx been confused as?

Well i was driving home from work when these kids started stairing at me... i gunned it when the stop light turned green to show off the wonderful sound of the engine... when we came to the next stop light they rolled down the window and asked why i didn't buy the turbo version...
"Huh? it never came with a turbo..." i replyed... then they said
"isn't that a eagle talon?"
"NO! its a SVX" and i drove off...
My car has also been mistaken for a Ford Probe.. what about you guys?

I've had both an early 90's Probe and Talon before the SVX and have had people confuse it for both of those. Some Talons also came with a black top and spoiler as well as having a similar shape and size.

I had someone ask if it was a Ferrari- believe it or not 8-) Also I have had someone in an Acura NSX say "nice car- I was thinking of getting one". Several times someone has asked what kind of new car is that. And the windows.................

It is great to have such a timeless design that is limited in numbers. Exclusivity

It always gets me when people say that. I own a 1990 PGT and don't you think Probe owners go "what have people confused your Probe as" lets see SVX



Look at the Probe's cousin the MX-6 which I have owned too and I can swear it looks real similar to a Subaru I use to own.

I've got the usual Talon. Then I also get "is it Turboed" when new school Subie and Evo owners see her.
