New SVX rumors resurface
Peep this quote from http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/front_index.php?cp=1 hopefully its true, I hope it will more HP
"Monday 15th April 2002 Subaru Puts On The Style Style is set to become top priority at Subaru. The company is starting work on a secret new coupé inspired by its classic SVX... and designed by the man who penned the Alfa Romeo 147. Powered by an evolution of the six-cylinder 3.0-litre boxer engine that made its debut in the Legacy Outback, the new car is expected to provide an alluring combination of design and technology when it goes on sale in two years' time. Delivering at least 250bhp, the newcomer will be jointly developed by Subaru and the company's tuning department, STi. The car will offer all-wheel drive as well as a five-speed automatic gearbox to complement its luxurious character. To ensure the coupé's looks appeal to European tastes, Subaru employed Greek designer Andreas Zapatinas, who has styled some of the world's most desirable cars, including the Alfa 147. Insiders suggest Subaru decided to use a European designer after it came in for criticism about the bug-eyed appearance of its Impreza WRX.

How many times have we seen almost the exact same article? I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention, though.

The one thing that is a fact is that FHI did indeed hire Zapatinas as its new head of design. It was announced a couple of weeks ago, and the story appeared in various trade publications.
So, you never know .... |

Do you think Fuji would be able to hire Giugario even if they wanted to? They'd have to contract out ItalDesign.

I hope they arent talking about the Baja, that thing looks horrible. What were they thinking when they developed that?

if they ever do come out with a new 'svx,' i believe there should be some perks for us current owners. think of all the money most of us (save for a select few ) have had to put into this car...it's like a living financial hell sometimes! ya know...i think we should be able to like drive down to the dealer, pick out the new one we want, show them we have an 'old school' svx, and they go 'here you go sir/ma'am.' they hand us the keys, give us the title, throw in a subaru reman tranny as a parting gift, and send us on our way...then having the new car complimentary towed to our house b/c we all know which one we'd rather drive anyways then from the confines of our humble abode, you put your 'new' svx up on EBAY!! sell that puppy for at least 28k, and put that money in a 'oh no, my svx is broken again' checking account...that's worth a couple trannies and bearings maybe you could even spare enough to get the car's fuel gauge to work correctly...but you know...where's the fun in that! and for you dreamers out there...the quarter mile calls your name...
*smack!!* man, if only everyone could see the world the way i do... |
