View Full Version : Subaru version of RX-8 MX-Man 03-05-2003, 12:46 PM What is this? Looks like an RX-8 cousin. More info here: http://www.autoweek.com/specials/2003_geneva/subaru/1.htm feelthesweetbea 03-05-2003, 01:08 PM This is one of those cars that makes me work and study harder(along with the rx-8). its beautiful!!!!!!! i also like the accord sport concept. the rear end is so damn appealing!! :D RX-7_16 03-05-2003, 01:08 PM see...remeber how every1 says mazda is gonna rewrite and re create the way of a sports car? well, take that as an example...it is already doing it...expect to see more suicide door sportscars concepts from other makers lafar 03-05-2003, 01:48 PM rx-8 better anyway! and how long will it take subaru to make a car from concept?? maybe in next 3 years we will se that copy of rx QUOTE "This radical 400bhp 4WD, four-door, four-seat concept was revealed at this week's Geneva Motor Show ...... says company boss Masaru Katsurada." http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/?news/ae_news_story.php?id=34670 lafar 03-05-2003, 01:50 PM and jonalan 03-05-2003, 04:01 PM I liked it until I saw that it was a hatchback! YUKK!!! JTek_55 03-05-2003, 04:04 PM Originally posted by jonalan I liked it until I saw that it was a hatchback! YUKK!!! Ditto! Elara 03-05-2003, 04:14 PM I hope they fix the front of it before taking it production- it looks like it got smushed up against a wall or something. RX-7_16 03-05-2003, 04:34 PM subaru should just stick to their great rally bred soprt sedans...i love their trademark with the blue and gold wheels...the STI is one of my fav cars.... zoom44 03-05-2003, 05:46 PM so would this be a reincarnation of the SVX? RX-7_16 03-06-2003, 02:23 PM doubt it...did the svx have 400hp?...i think its a new type of car for subaru, and they are trying to keep up w/ mazda...just like mitsubishi is trying to keep up w/ subaru with the lancer evo zoom44 03-06-2003, 03:13 PM no it didn't svx: Horsepower: 230 @ 5,400 rpm Torque: 228 @ 4,400 rpm Maximum Engine Speed: 7,000 rpm but i didn't mean just a cosmetic update of the car i mean as a replacement in the lux/performance sedan category which they have been absent from since the demise of the svx. JTek_55 03-06-2003, 03:53 PM I think the SVX is just about one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen in my life. And yes, I have seen a number of them in person. What's up with the windows? Efini 03-07-2003, 04:38 AM i liked the svx. whats there not to like ?? 230hp H6 all wheel drive. the only flat six other than a porsche. the windows are a little unconventional, but that wont stop me from liking the car. oh wells, subaru decided not to produce any svx's with manual transmissions, so i didnt buy one. otherwise id be driving one right now. fasdude 03-07-2003, 10:56 AM I actually like it better than the RX-8. . I agree that the front end could be improved and the detailing on the side of the car is too much (busy looking). The housed foglights are better than the RX-8, because they don't seem like an afterthought. However, the general shape of the car is sleeker and cleaner than the RX-8. The wide rear end screams to followers: "Kiss my phat ass!!" I also fell in love with the hatchback(I'm a practical enthusiast) + AWD(winters here suck) + 400hp (Whoa!). Also, around here (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada), Subaru's have a really good reputation for practicality, reliability and good resale value. It's just a shame they haven't discovered the simplistic ingenuity and of the light rotary engine. Just my 2 cents worth. Let the flaming begin! P00Man 03-07-2003, 08:14 PM that car will never make to production, at least not without radical design changes. and its weird lookin'. ________ Ipad Cases (http://accesoriesipad.com/) bwayout 03-07-2003, 09:19 PM Originally posted by jonalan I liked it until I saw that it was a hatchback! YUKK!!! ;) Well, I don't know about you - but I love the idea that it is a fastback/hatch! :D DTECH-RX 03-08-2003, 06:52 PM The profile from the side looks ok, but that front end HAS GOT TO GO! :o The RX-8 is still much better looking IMHO! Cihuuy 03-10-2003, 10:55 AM I second you that!! :D The 8 is a much better looking and meaner car... That subaru is damn Fugly... 0.2 :p |
