A big two-page picture shows an overhead view of the interior and you can clearly see the short center console and THIRD SEATBELT in the back seat! I always assumed that several, if not all, of the RHD non-US markets shared this "5 seater" configuration, and it was just never a topic that really came up on here.

Re: Old Top Gear - Subaru SVX Review
Unfortunately most of my stuff is in storage and I have no idea which box my brochures are in. There are a couple of easy places I can try to look so I'll try.
Really though, there are enough European and even Australian members here we could probably find out. Is this a big difference in the US cars that just has never come up much because both sides just assumed all SVXes were configured the same when it came to seating capacity?

When the passive restraint went away, I think the US cars maintained the extended console and kept the car a 4 seater was because of safety testing. They would have had to retest the car as a 5 seater possibly, but I am just guessing here. |

Re: Old Top Gear - Subaru SVX Review
A 5 seat SVX? Man, I feel bad enough for the 4th person to get in my car. I'd really take pitty on the fifth.
Tiny ladies in the back seat only please

Re: Old Top Gear - Subaru SVX Review
The safety testing theory is a good one, although at the same point the seatbelts changed, a passenger airbag was added so wouldn't they prefer to have the car retested anyway? Who knows?
I always went with the theory that they never even bothered trying to pretend that 3 on-average "largest" people worldwide Americans could fit back there, 2 is bad enough!

Re: Old Top Gear - Subaru SVX Review
Mine is a 4 seater. Nordic domestic market. Never ever heard of a five seater but good luck with that.

Here's a good pic of the console from a 5 passenger SVX.

Re: Old Top Gear - Subaru SVX Review
Wouldn't mind having one of those for the extra space. Who needs an ashtray back there anyway?

Re: Old Top Gear - Subaru SVX Review
May look black but it is a dark gray.
You can see the mat colour. Harvey.

Re: Old Top Gear - Subaru SVX Review
Still a lot darker looking than the grey that we got. Very nice car, looks to be in really good shape by the way.

Re: Old Top Gear - Subaru SVX Review
Either that or it's just a badly lit picture. The door panels look quite a bit darker. Is that red button under the ebrake handle stock?
