I feel the exact way you do. The SVX is not just a car. The reactions, and expressions by the two engineers present at the SIA lunch were fantastic. I loved seeing the sincere smiles on their faces in response to our standing ovation. When you sit in the SVX you can feel the love and pride that was put into its design and assembly.

Mike - what about your lip spoilers, 17" wheels, gauge pods, drop springs, HID conversion...... what else?
Sorry, I feel like being devil's advocate today!

I agree with Nick about it being more than a car. Obviously not about modifying it a little. errr Mike |

21th century SVX?
Hi folks
There will never be any car like our SVX. The SVX is a uniqe car. Subaru will sure bring a new coupé on the market, but they don't can give the name SVX. On the official website of the motorshow in Geneva it's write now, that they will show the concept car coupé. The concept car will show the future style of SUBARU. We will go (subaruclub.ch) next weekend to the motorshow. I will post the pictures of the concept car. Greetings Kusi |

Purity of purpose
Quote:
You said a mouthful there. Would have loved to be at the meet and talk to those fellows. The SVX remains very close to the original design study, and as such, retains more "soul" and art-form than most mass produced cars, which suffer from marketing committees. I find there are other cars which retain this almost sculpture like art element. One I love is the recent Alfa Zagato SZ, very purist and aggressive in style with very limited ground clearance for the real world. Another Alfa I would regard as a spiritual predecessor of the SVX is the GTV 1750 and 2000 coupes of the 70s. Rear drive only, but a compact and purposeful coupe, with lines that still show restrained elegance. Yep, if it wasn't raining right now, I would go out and polish up my masterpiece. Joe

Mike... Nick....
I'm with you guys! What ever the future may hold for Subaru coupes has very little bearing hahahahha he said bearing...... on my choice of car. I like the SVX for what it is and what it was when it came out 10 years before most any comparable car. I'm a bit of a purest about mine and what you do to your's is up to you and your conscience.

We will know in less than a week what Subaru has in store for us in the future.
I sure hope the GM influence is kept to an absolute minimum.

If we did not like the SVX and think of it as more than just a great car full of soul and artfully designed, than we wouldn't own 3 of them. I guess this is the way that owner's felt about Healy's.
