Re: New SVX in the media sighting

Spotted an SVX in a commercial on the Science channel.

Looks to be a Teal with no spoiler, driving across the Golden Gate bridge.

Perhaps it's someone from here?

There's a bumper sticker on the drivers side of the rear bumper.



The lines on the rear windshield are just reflections

Re: New SVX in the media sighting

Saw one on "How I met your Mother". Should've noted the season and episode. I'm pretty sure it was parked in clear view for extended time.

Also, the movie "Fireproof" features an SVX that wrecks when street racing. Pretty sure, being that it's a low budget movie, they needed something that looked sporty, but was dirt cheap. When they accelerate away from the stop light, the SVX has a healthy (unhealthy, actually) amount of blue smoke coming from the exhaust.

A member of this site, "SVXHunter" worked on the crew for that movie. It was one of his fleet. For the crash, he hung a crumpled fender over the good one. Other than that, the car was unharmed.

He posted about it back when he was working on it, if you search for "fireproof" by SVXhunter, it should pop up.

It's a "Beyond Imagination" commercial (basically a short Science channel infomercial), they are talking about electric vehicles and using electrified roads to power them. The SVX is just coincidentally in front of the camera vehicle during a short clip.

I saw it 3-4 times yesterday, so it should be pretty easy to catch.

I saw it mostly during "Through The Wormhole" so that might narrow down what you have to record

Just checked this out. Good eye, almost hard to tell it's an SVX as all you can really see is half of the front end and the upper half of the body's side...

And for those who don't want to count through episodes to find #48, it's Episode 9 "Kyoko's Confession" in the Fourth Stage: Part 1.


EDIT: 600 posts!!
