Wow yours is rare George (not rare like..."valuable" rare... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). Although I read on the SVXWorld site that ALL North America SVX's were AWD it appears that there were a limited number of FWD models imported in 1994-95. They didn't sell well so Subaru stopped importing them.
Wikipedia... "Soon after the SVX entered production, Subaru began to realize that the high selling price of the SVX was giving some buyers "sticker shock".[citation needed] In an attempt to attract more buyers, a front-wheel drive version was offered on the SVX during the 1994–1995 model year, which cost about $5,300 less than the AWD version in 1994. and $1500 difference in 1995. In 1994, FWD was offered on both the base L model (X33 in the VIN) and on the mid-range LS model (X34 in the VIN). In 1995, only the base L model was offered in FWD (X33 in the 5th, 6th and 7th digits of the VIN). Buyers avoided the compromised FWD version and weak sales figures led to its discontinuation after 1995." Interesting info for the boneyard searches... |
