stupid book
So, every time I go to the bookstore I check books for an entry on the SVX (history of the sports car type books) always come up empty, well, last night I found it, much to my dismay.... 2 pages in a small sized book....

That's pretty good. I gather the "cheap plastics" references the touring interior's fake woodgrain, and that's about the only criticism with which I'd agree. They should have used real wood or something entirely different.
That all white, wingless, Euro SVX illustrated looks mighty fine. dcb |

I was really even more suprised to see the Tucker Torpedo in the book, sure, Tucker took in the brownhole from the big 3, but the car was far from bad.

Legacy drivetrain? Ask Randy. He'll tell you stories about how SVXes and legacys mix or don't mix.

That wacky SVX.
Imagine the exterior styling being implemented into the interior. Wacky. Doesn't make sense to me either though that seem to be the only reason he didn't like it.

Inside, out, doesn't matter. People are usually surprised the interior is so nice though.

According to the "poopyhead" author, my '96 SVX should not exist as the car was only made from 91-95!
