>There is a reason many people drive Porsches and SVX's.


The SVX as a car has several serious design flaws causing chronic
unreliability. Transmission blows and wheel bearings in particular.
Also the car is far too heavy for 240hp, so its performance is only
good, not great. It is no supercar.

Only 24000 SVXs were made. Exclusive. Lots more 911s. Common!
