Ditto!

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.

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 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!

that car will never make to production, at least not without radical design changes.

and its weird lookin'.

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
