I'm going to have to say that I like the added utility of the pickup variant. It combines Subaru's two largest sales flops to date, the SVX and the Baja.

I actually think that looks good, it would make for a good looking sedan also. Im neutral about that spoiler/lugage rack thing, it doesnt do anything for me but it wouldnt bother me.

In my opinion the Amadeus, at least the five door one, looks more like this car. Even though this car came later so it might have indeed copied the Amadeus.



I also read on a website which I am not sure if it is true or not that the 3 door Amadeus was being considered by Subaru to be put into production. And for the advertising Paul Hogan was going to be sponsoring the car. However, he laughed so hard when he first saw it, Subaru reconsidered.

Guys if you really think for a second about the Five door Prototype Amadeus, subaru can never do it with the funky windows.... guess why??? because the rear windows will let the air go inside instead of repelling it to the outside....
Maybe the 3 door one can be done...
