20 years ago nearly every Jap. car company and their rebadged cousins had this same idea. Sorry but the Vibe and the like are just rebadges of a bad idea to begin with. There is nothing sporty about jacking up the center of gravity of a normal sedan, reskinning it and calling it a sport-cross-over. Its just pathetic. Go buy yourself a Jetta Turbo wagon. If you need space. It'll out perform all of these in 1. interior room, 2. 0-60, 3. handling, 4. braking. Besides, I think they're giving out free drivers wanted t-shirts.

Personally I think that Saab looks fantastic. I would definatly own one if I had the extra money.

Infiniti J-30 or a G-35
I was tempted to get a J-30 instead of an SVX, albeit it's a different car... Also, the current G-35 looks great!

I kinda like the new VW Passat W8. AWD & V8 (kind of)
I haven't driven one yet but it should be quite the ve-hic-el. Randy ii |

10 years from now. I'll probably be sitting in my SVX in my Depends, adjusting the really dark glasses that I received after my cataract surgery, and I'll be drooling on the steering wheel.
I'll also be trying to remember where I was going to go because I got in the car. Enjoy your youth while it lasts.

And another thing... I didn't know the Golf came with AWD. Must be a Europe only thing again.

did VW develop 4-motion themselves or did they borrow Audi's Quattro system?
i was searching for SVX stuff on the web a while back, and a guy in a discussion panel said he had an SVX and an Audi, and he thought the SVX's AWD system was superior.
