Why SVX?
I know we all love our SVXi. I searched awhile before I posted this to be sure nobody else had asked.
Why SVX? An edit to the 3rd item: Power/Performance/Luxury

I would have gone with all of the above but since I had to choose I went with the rarity factor...

I saw my car in the dark at an auto auction. It was instant love at first sight. Where is the option for that?

i love all the 90's japanese flagship cars. What made me go to the svx was the initial buying price a few years ago because its sure not the modding price ($10k and counting)....and the rarity factor is extremely nice

I already had the AWD, manual trans, and boxer layout. I didn't have the over-the-top touring GT goodies, but those could have been added.
It musta been the Giugiaro.

Some of us saw it in the magazines when it was introduced, were shocked that a Subaru could cost that much, then sat back and waited.

I've liked them ever since I was like 10 when my dad first told me about them. I first saw one in person when I was like 14 (we looked at a 92 pearl that was available around here but didn't buy it because it needed exhaust work). I really like that they're rare, but for the low price I paid, I got a car with leather, auto air, 230hp, and AWD which are all things I love about the car. Add to that the weird styling and you have a car that I just love looking at every time I walk up to it.

Price was right on this one for me
 I wanted a 2.5RS but couldn't get over their price. Knew I wanted AWD somehow, and tripped across a great deal on this SVX.
