I agree.

In the US, it appears that we have all the letters, even though the SVX is the same 'type' car, fully loaded. A 96 would be CXWeY7E, and the same car, same type for '97, is CXWfY7E, but a DIFFERENT MODEL. In the US, a model must be certified each year, thus, it is a DIFFERENT MODEL, with a different Applied Model sequence.

We see the same thing in UK, CXWaK7E, and proof of CXWbK7E. The car is the same type and same model, fully loaded UK, but a DIFFERENT MODEL.

JDM production also seems consistant in this respect, the production began in 91 for VE, VL, S40, S40II. The S40 and S40II were special limited production models, and were part of the first model year production, THE SAME MODEL, with different OPTION CODES. According to jamsvx pages, the S40 was 'released' in November 1993, the JDM 'anniversary model' of 300 units, and the S40II was released in July 1994, though. As you agreed, this is the same model as the VE, produced during the same production run, differing in Option Code and release date .

Phil,
What is the date on your S40II seat belts?

The key is stated on the first chart, CERTIFIED MODEL EMISSIONS. That is what determines a new model, required for each model year sold in America.

It appears that for domestic Japan use, the SVX was only certified for two MODEL YEARS, four models total:

1992, CXDa [a-1992] 25E, VL
1992, CXWa [a-1992] 23E, VL, S40, S40II
1994, CXWd [d-1995] 22E, S3
1994, CXWd [d-1995] 23E, S4

This reasoning is consistant with data on other Applied Models with ABCDEF

In America, Chevrolet did not certify a Corvette for sale in 1983, there were no 1983 Corvettes.
Likewise, there really are no 93, 94, 96, or 97 JDMs, none were certified.

My conclusion on the drive system is confirmed, though we have all know that for years, noting that Japan lacked a FWD CXV model.

Export markets were not shown in the new links, but perhaps most domestic produced Japan models were for domestic consumption

Good logic NeedForSpeed! Tha data is consistent with the facts.

Can you say what your seven-digit APPLIED MODEL is on one of five Paraguay SVX?

Okay,
picked it up on your thread:
My applied model is ( this is a weird one) : CXWDL7E

D- 1995

thanks

CXW [D-1995] L 7E,,
L= EURO [France, Swiss so far]
It's a model like the Euro, an L, glass lamps, washers, etc., a RHD variant. I didn't notice a headlamp level switch.

The LHD UK model, is K, posted above.

What is your OPTION CODE?

What letter is on your under hood fuse box cover?
EDIT: Answer 'C'
Could you post a picture of that on this thread?

Now, the big question I have is, what TCU transmission computer do you have, since you have Power Mode button and likely same transmission as EURO/UK? If you ever go under the dash, try to get the two letters on the TCU cover.

L [France, Swiss, Paraguay]

Got your Option Code, etc. from Joe's Trim Registration thread, as advised on your car-for-sale thread:

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...7&postcount=46

Applied Model Code: CXWDL7E
Color Code: 559
Trim Code: 520
Option Code: BK

Still have questions above, plus, interesting, you have the long console that goes all the way to the rear seats, like US models.

I would like to have seen Paraguay Subaru, or the importer's option list to choose from, essentually placing a order for 5 with FHI Japan

Cool! So L=Euro. Maybe it will help if i tell you that the Honda dealer here only imported euro-spec cars (confirmed fact), so maybe, all cars imported to Paraguay are euro spec.
No headlamp leveler for my car.
Option code BK.
The car is at home now, so i will check later for the letter in the fusebox and the numbers in the TCU. Do you know where is located exactly?

Lol... i always wondered that. Maybe the FHI ppl said: A 5 cars order with special options?? Come on, you have to be kidding me!

EDIT:
You already had it pegged, the same APPLIED MODEL as Euro SVX, wired like Australia SVX

I think they said, great, someone wants five SVX

The TCU is directly under the dash, in front of the driver. It has a bracket that surrounds the ECU, Engine computer. The ECU plugs are down, the TCU plugs come out of the TCU facing to the center of the car. The letters on on the outside, big letters, the outside of the case the farthest forward surface, and may be hard to see without a mirror.

The TCU case with numbers looks like this:

CXW TE0S- for GCC
CXW BL0E- for Levant

NZ:
CXD A25E- VERSION-L




OKAY, check it out, we have enough information to begin to decode the APPLIED MODEL,

All SVX registration lists should be categorized by APPLIED MODEL YEAR:
A, B, C, D, E, F.

CX@ A, 1992
CX@ B, 1993
CX@ C, 1994
CX@ D, 1995
CX@ E, 1996
CX@ F, 1997

Further, the following conclusions seem evident:

CXD- AWD-4WS
CXW- AWD
CXV- FWD

The fifth character seems to indicate a world market, but I don’t have enough Model numbers to determine if Canada and US are the same.
This is what seems correct at this point:

CXWA Y 7E,, Y= US [North America?]
CXWA K 7E,, K= United Kingdom [?]
CXWA L 7E,, L= EURO [France, Swiss so far]
CXWA U 7E,, U= Australia
CXWA 2 3E,, 2= Japanese Domestic Market
CXWA 2 5E,,
CXWT E 0R,, E= Gulf region [GCC]

All codes seem to end in E, except Dan’s GCC 'R' code, perhaps this is a code for non-catalyst

All codes have consistant A-F Manufacture, except Dan's GCC 'T' code.

What seems to be left, is to figure out the 6th and 7th characters

Ron, it seems the codes in my area (Middle East = GCC + Levant) have a "0" as a digit before the last.

The Levant car "BL0E" is somehow similar to the French and Swiss model as well as the Paraguay model. They are all LHD and their digits patterns are the same:

B L 7 E = France
C L 7 E = Swiss
B L 0 E = Lebanon (Levant)
D L 7 E = Latin America

EDIT: Just asked a seller on Ebay Germany to send me his car's VIN number. He send me JF1 CXWAL0E H003064. Now things are getting weird. Could there be a difference in model between France and Germany so that the Levant and German are the same whereas the French SVX is a little different? Let me ask more EBAY sellers in Germany about their Vins. Btw EARL if you want to note down that car in your records, Germany, 229000 Kms, Vin = JF1 CXWAL0E H003064, year = 01. 11. 1992 and color is claret.


Furthermore upon checking the resemblance of cars between France (Pierre-Olivier & Naru), Paraguay (MadMaxSVX) and Levant (A friend of mine's car), they do have all the same options: Power mode button, front fender blinkers, etc...

Here is my friend's SVX again, in Leb:







The only missing link in all this is the GCC SVX. As Harvey mentioned long time ago, my non-catalyst model cannot exist but in the GCC region since gas is super cheap (20 liters = 4$) and they don't have any environmental restrictions (it is all desert around here... )

[SilverSpear]

One thing I would like to add about GCC models, mine ends with "R" and the other one ends with "S". He has AWD but without a sunroof or leather interior. His if I still remember correctly is semi leather.

Mine is fully equipped, but I don't have the power button, but I can see the power mode on the dash whenever I press the pedal.
