I found more than a couple of my own stats comparos and spec guesstimates referenced without credit on other sites/blogs.

Ah, the good old days...

I have zero doubt they were. In fact it was through one of those blogs that I found out about this forum. When I was doing my research marathon after finding my car and trying to decide if I should wait the few weeks for the 15 I spent several hours wading through those blog sites BS desperately trying to find something factual. On one site talking about the pre release speculation there was a spread sheet credited to "an informed source". When I read the comments there was one from somebody here that said they made had the spreadsheet up and linked to the thread. Maybe it was you? If so it is your fault I am here!

Never did post any actual spreadsheet files.

Ichi got ripped off the most, I think, with the early 'shooting brake' Photoshop he did.

For what it's worth with regards to the SVX, the original was fugly too.

YA, don't remember who it was or what site I found it on. I do remember seeing the shooting brake presented as a "leaked" Toyota rendering though.

SVX=ugly as ___________!!!

new one is ok, but imo needs a bit of roundness added.

Looks like a SVX/kompressor baby

Not bad for a concept. Dial it back by about 10% and it'd be great. More interesting looking than anything else in Subaru's lineup short of the BRZ.

I actually liked the old SVX. Thought it was cool looking.

This... looks like an elongated Subaru'd M coupe.

I somehow doubt we'll ever see another SVX.

In person and in pictures this front end looks different. In frontal pictures the angles look odd and large but in person the angles blend pretty well into the rest of the body.

Looks like the "Ambiguously gay duo" car (no homo)

Looks like someone is trying to pass the GT6 Vision Concept as legit.
