Talk:Subaru Alcyone SVX

message: Though this article is otherwise excellent, I have to dispute the claim that the SVX was the first concept car to go into production nearly unchanged - the Dodge Viper, also conceived in 1989 and released for sale in 1992, would be the proof. The original Isuzu Piazza (Impulse to North American buyers) was also largely the same as its "Ace of Clubs" concept predecessor. Or, going back a lot further, the original 1953 Corvette was almost completely unchanged from its Motorama concept form. There are other similar examples, but these are the most obvious ones I could think of. Again, not a patch on the article, but I'd suggest adjusting that one statement.

message: The top speed was listed as 182mph which seemed suspicious, so I checked the reference article, which actually lists the top speed as about 140mph.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.210.179 (talk) 11:25, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't believe anyone ever considered the XT a sports car. A runabout with sporting pretensions, or maybe even an aspiring gran turismo in the six-cylinder version, but hardly a sports car.  Mr.choppers | ✎  01:01, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not subaru's first sports car 

message: ″All versions of the SVX sold were equipped with automatic transmissions, as a manual transmission capable of handling the horsepower and torque of the EG33 engine was not produced by Subaru at the time.[7]
I find this claim to be dubious, as the SVX has as its contemporaries the WRX and the Legacy GT, both of which used a turbo EJ22 engine that had only a few hp and nm less than the SVX's engine. I understand that at the time of the development, perhaps the manual transmissions were not available to the designers of the SVX, but it seems to be a bit more complicated than the article currently states.

thread_title:  Automatic transmission claim 

message: On the page there is this quote: "A more advanced system called VTD (variable torque distribution), was introduced and used on SVX for sale in Japan, the UK, the Benelux region, Sweden, Australia, Spain, Austria and Brazil.". Is there any source to confirm this claim? From my experience (owner of SVX in Europe), all SVX'es sold in Europe, Japan and Australia/New Zealand had VTD transmission, and those sold in United States had MPT transmission. I've never saw one with MPT in Europe that would not be an US import. I own German-spec model with VTD transmission, seen Swiss-specs with VTD. OpposedForces page for SVX (link) lists "Europe" and "USA" versions, with Europe covering also Australia/New Zealand, and part schemas for Europe list only VTD transmission. Taking these into account, I find this quote as false and misleading.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by BelegUS (talk • contribs) 10:03, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
