Re: what can be improved on the svx?
Setting aside obvious mechanical and subjective performance shortcomings, here are a few things I'd like:
—Solid wood, wood veneer, textured plastic, painted plastic, tuck-and-roll naugahyde… ANYTHING except fake woodgrain. —A removable, hinged cover over the spare tire well, with storage cubbies that fill the voids around the spare. —Perforations in the seating surfaces of the leather. —A remote trunk release. —Oil pressure and alternator output gauges. There's not much about these cars that leaves me wanting. I just hate that they're so old. dcb

Re: what can be improved on the svx?
Let's not forget that 2 buck under hood light.
I'd also move the radio volume control knob somewhere that would allow a normal thumb to grip it - AND put some radio controls on the steering wheel. While we're at it let's also add a trip computer, & a gas guage that actually measures the amount af gas remaining. Ron.

Re: what can be improved on the svx?
Hey, if we're shootin' for Christmas, make the thing a hatchback, and find a way to make that driver's side rear plug more convenient. Of two engines, both had five of one plug and one of another!
 Oh yeh, and that PCV thing...

Re: what can be improved on the svx?
Give us an idea of they type of improvement you are looking at.
If you mean updating with new technology that's one thing. If you mean fixing old design short comings that is something completely different. Id like, love to be able to adjust my A/C by a half degree Celsius, like newer cars. Memory for power seat, mirror and steering wheel settings would be nice. Power passenger seat would be nice. Extendable sun visors to block sun from the side.
