SVX is a "Halo" Car
Halo Car - A car with a stylish design or unusual features meant to draw customers into a showroom but not generate a lot of sales -- nor make a lot of money.
"A two-door GT car with avant-garde styling from the maker of sturdy and practical Outbacks and Foresters? That was the concept behind the SVX, immediately identifiable by its unusual two-piece power slide window. Representing a roughly $10,000 walkup from the next most-expensive Subaru, it gave new meaning to the term "sticker shock." The ungainly SVX found only 640 buyers during its last year on the market." http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/...fortune/6.html

Re: SVX is a "Halo" Car
Glad the SVX is still getting some honorable mentions, but the past couple of write-ups featuring the SVX have pictured beat up SVX'S. A simple search and they could have come up with some prestine examples of the SVX.

You'd think, right? The rest of the cars look like brochure shots.

That picture was on the wikipedia page for a while. That's just lazy.
