ecky Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Is this a photoshop, concept, or the real thing? I stumbled across this and was wondering. Anyhoo, I want one. How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimokalihi Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I've seen that before too but I think it's a concept. I liked the way the SVX looked except the windows... What is the deal with the windows? They look horrible and why would you want them to be like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the deal with the windows? They look horrible and why would you want them to be like that? It might just be me, but I like the added personallity given to the SVX because the windows are the way they are. But I think it would bug me if I ever drove it.

offroadsubaruguy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 from what ive heard they where designed that way to keep window noise down when your driving around with the windows down...... just what ive heard, so i could be wrong.....

Manarius Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Is this a photoshop, concept, or the real thing? I stumbled across this and was wondering. Anyhoo, I want one. How about you? Some random person just took a B4 Sedan, made it into a coupe, and added those windows. 100% photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetterFan Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I've heard that, with some varying success, that in an svx you can drive the windows down in a rain storm and not get wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflyifr Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Driving an SVX in the rain with windows down is identical to any other car. The water comes in as well as the wind and noise. The reason for those type (design) windows is to be able to retract them into the door. There is no way that the entire glass surface on an SVX would retract all the way. Just look at one and you will see what I mean. iflyifr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 The windows are like that partially for structural integrity.. (it has a whole door frame, instead of just a half frame like most Subarus.) And also for aerodynamics. With the windows down the air passes by the window more than it comes in the windows... so the wind you get is from air being sucked out of the car instead of pushed in. I have driven in the rain with my windows down on my SVX and not gotten wet... as well as times I have gotten wet.. it just depends on what kind of rain it is!

nipper Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Whenever you see windows like that they are structural. Remeber the SVX was a experiment in saftey aslo. This wondow made for a much more stronger door in an accident, and no passenger ejection. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene J Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I might be willing to buy a 2 door Legacy GT if it looked like that. Forget the windows. I like the lack of a frame. It makes it alot easier to get in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 The lack of frame allows more space for a strong roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nkx Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 thats the first ive seen it. id be willing to say its a very very good chop job. it looks cool, but its doesnt set itself apart from the styling of the legacy to make it a legit concept car. lets just say i hope i eat my words.

burtonsnowman Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 why would you want them to be like that?Because you never want to go through a drive-through... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
