  • Pretty rare cars nowadays... 1991 to 1996.
    -----------------------------
    the EG33 model 3.3-liter boxer horizontally opposed flat-six. This engine was the largest engine produced by Subaru for its passenger cars until the introduction of the 3.6-liter EZ36 engine in the 2008 Subaru Tribeca.
    Internally, the engine is essentially a six-cylinder variant of the EJ22 found in the first-generation Japanese market Legacy and Impreza. The new 3.3-liter variant was equipped with DOHC and four valves per cylinder, and had an increased compression ratio of 10.1:1, bringing power up to 172 kilowatts (231 hp) at 5,400 rpm with 309 newton-metres (228 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,400 rpm.
    The SVX was offered solely with an automatic transmissions, as Subaru did not offer a manual transmission capable of handling the horsepower and torque of the EG33 engine at the time.[7] Subaru offered two all-wheel drive systems for the automatic transmission, called ACT-4 or VTD.
    Problems with early SVX transmissions included a defective torque converter clutch which disintegrates and clogs early radiators (both clutch and radiator changed in 1993), and had systemic high clutch failures due to lower than spec pump pressure, fluid evacuation, and clutch balance pressure. [citation needed] Several major revisions were made, all of which are included by late 1994 production.
    -----------------------------
    0-60 mph: 7.3 seconds
    1/4 mile: 15.4 seconds at 92.5 mph (148.9 km/h)
    Top speed: 154 mph (248 km/h) (1992-93), 143 mph (230 km/h) (1994+ due to the addition of an electronic speed governor)[9][10]
    60-0 mph: 98 ft (30 m)
    -----------------------------
    The Subaru Alcyone SVX, marketed outside Japan as the Subaru SVX, is a two-door, front-engine, all- or front-wheel drive coupé manufactured and marketed by Subaru from 1991 to 1996 over a single generation.
    Superseding the company's aviation-influenced XT range, the Alcyone SVX was Subaru's first entry into the luxury/performance market, and was noted for its aircraft-inspired 'window-within-a-window' side-glass configuration.
    The nameplate "Alcyone" (pronounced "al-SIGH-uh-nee")[1] refers to the brightest star in the Pleiades constellation, stylized in the Subaru company logo. The suffix "SVX" is an acronym for "Subaru Vehicle X".

    I just picked one up New Year's of this year. A '94 Bordeaux LSi @ 145k. Slowly but surely working on fixing all the little things but overall very clean for being 30+ years old. That's awesome there's at least this one out on the islands, they're rare enough in the continental US! Much respect to the owner for keeping this beauty alive in the middle of the ocean where parts are probably nonexistent! But equally worth it! I'd love to see pics of it around the island, that'd be unreal. Thanks for sharing.
