I hope they fix the front of it before taking it production- it looks like it got smushed up against a wall or something.

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

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.

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?

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.

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this...

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 ***!!" 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!

Well, I don't know about you - but I love the idea that it is a fastback/hatch!

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!
