Or that very weird X10 (?). AWD, turbo, very wedgy to the max (as far as
production car can go).

SVX wasn't a big seller. It was a GT than a sport car. I bet it was the
high price that killed it. The Guigiro(?) styling was somewhat neat at the
time. But I don't think anyone was ready to spend that much for a Subaru.
And the sad thing was that it only came in auto, too.
