  Subaru XT Information
The Alcyone is named after the brightest star in the Pleiades star cluster, on which the Subaru logo is based.
First introduced in February 1985 in the United States (June 1985 in Japan), the XT was a wedged-shaped departure from the 1970s-influenced curves of the previous models, aimed directly at the heart of the 1980s.
Subaru New Zealand did however bring in an XT6 as a demo, but as New Zealand's fuel options were 91 octane unleaded fuel or 96 octane leaded fuel, it was not a viable option to sell the XT6 as the 2700cc 6 Cyl engine required 96 octane unleaded petrol.

Alcyone was a Greek demi-goddess, sometimes regarded as one of the Pleiades.
More often she was thought of as the daughter of Aeolus and wife of Ceyx, son of Eosphorus and the king of Thessaly.
When Alcyone made her nest on the beach waves threatened to destroy it, Aeolus restrained his winds and made the waves be calm during seven days in each year, so she could lay her eggs.

In fact, it was Subaru that introduced Renault to Nissan when they asked for assistance in all-wheel drive (AWD) technology, when FHI told Renault to discuss their plans with Nissan, the discussions eventually led to the successful Renault-Nissan alliance.
Subaru's best-known vehicles are high performance turbocharged versions of its Legacy (known as Liberty in Australia—it was renamed out of respect for the Legacy Australia Foundation, which aids veterans and their families during and after wars), and Impreza, which offer outstanding performance and handling at relatively affordable prices.
The advertisements were intended to highlight Subaru's all wheel drive, and depicted the Outback in a number of rugged Australian locations.

Subaru is more often wrong than they are right, and their model history is littered with market missteps and failed followthroughs.
The SVX's interior was outfitted with enough upscale trim that it looks to have been positioned against the Lexus SC class—although the market for those cars was cramped as it was and Subaru wasn't exactly the marque most consumers were interested in when they went shopping for a big performance luxury car.
Subaru sold around 25,000 SVXs worldwide from 1991 through 1997—just over half were sold here in the US and the rest were sold in Japan and Europe under varying names, such as the Subaru Alcyone SVX.

 Cars - Subaru 360
When introduced in 1958, the Subaru 360's 356 cc engine turned out 16 hp and Subaru claimed 66 mpg fuel economy—by the end of production power had increased to 25 hp with a 36 hp twin carb engine was an option.
Several variants were produced, including a station wagon (called the Custom), a convertible, and two sports models known as the Young S, which had a slightly upgraded engine, bucket seats and a tachometer along with a fl, white striped roof with a dent along the middle to put your surfboard.
The Subaru was imported to the United States by Malcolm Bricklin, but the Subaru 360 received notoriety in 1969, when Consumer Reports magazine branded the automobile "Not Acceptable" (because of safety concerns and lack of power, this was before the fuel crisis.) and sales collapsed.

A SVX would certainly be built on the Legacy platform, but I DOUBT it would be shortened.
I know that Subaru has the Legcay B4-RSk as a GT cruiser, but one problem: The B4 does not come in a 2-door version.

Since the time the SVX was first showing up at dealers in 1991, I have always dreamed of owning one.
The SVX was designed in Italy by the award-winning design firm "ItalDesign." ItalDesign specializes in designing exotic Italian sports cars like Ferrari, Maserati, and Alfa-Romeo.
This exotic look was carried into the SVX with its low, flat stance, and 'half windows.' In this picture you can see my Enkei Shogun wheels, RaceConcepts brakes, and the small wheel gap thanks to my K&B Lowering Springs.

 Sore4x4: 4x4 Trails & Offroad for SW Washington & Oregon
The Alcyone SVX, also known in the United States simply as the Alcyone or SVX was a mid-sized sports-touring coupe sold by Subaru from 1991 to 1997.
Although it was considered to be a very powerful vehicle at its debut, the SVX was heavy, weighing in at about 3600 pounds (1600 kg), and was only available with a 4-speed automatic transmission, both of which adversly affected performance.
Generally these problems are attributed to the SVX's weight, which Subaru engineers did not properly take into consideration when designing the vehicle.

Subaru liked to call it an "aircraft-inspired glass-to-glass canopy." They just wanted to make a car like no other on the road...and they succeeded.
The 4EAT transmission installed in the Subaru SVX (also in the Legacy, Nissan Pathfinder, and Mazda MPV) suffers from one fatal problem: HEAT.
The wheel bearings on the SVX are prone to fail prematurely.

Theres 2 different Alcyone's, the Alcyone SVX and the Alcyone XT, those are the JDM designations though.
So there is no "regular alcyone" if you say you want an Alcyone but not the SVX then you want an XT.
I don't many would argue that the STi is a rocket sled on rails, but I like the old days of cars like the 300ZX Turbo and the SVX which had a nicer ride and a bit more luxury.

Japanese manufacturers like Mitsubishi and Subaru use AWD in performance cars that serve as a basis for rallying, so they can be considered real sports cars.
Many of the top-performing cars from marques like Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini have AWD in order to allow less skilled customers to take advantage of the power, which has to be considered the exact opposite of ´´sporting´´.
