Post Future Classic SVX Article Australia

Hello friends.

I just scanned this article from the current 'Unique Cars' magazine in Australia. Oddly enough, the SVX in the photo is a NZ model with NZ plates!

The article is fairly accurate and makes mention of the 'waterfall' grill issue the SVX faced in Australia in 1992, as well as the infamous 4EAT transmission. The article also reinforces the statistics about how many SVX were sold through SUBARU AUSTRALIA - 250.

Read and enjoy.



Mike

Another SVX article from the same magazine entitled

Why the Subaru's sedated SVX represents a great used car buy


A few inaccuracies, but informative just the same. I like the part about the "35/65 front-to-rear torque split"

Hey Mike,
Nice find. A few "little" similarities emerge with the commodore for the same era, including air filter I seam to remember - but every time I see a VN commodore, I always see SVX in the bonnet shape, bumper, lights etc.

Pic for our O/Seas cousins - what do you think?
