A New Friend For My SVX
My SVX has a new friend in the Driveway!!!
2010 Subaru Legacy Couple Shots I took between Rain Storms: ----- The Legacy may be newer and better, but the SVX is still teh sex! If only the SVX had the Legacy's Lineartronic™ CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with 6-speed manual mode and paddle shifters. Last edited by Lookin4SVX; 05-18-2010 at 09:31 PM. |

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
Wow, that car is huge, compared to even an SVX.

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
Yes its is huge. That was my first though after seeing it in the driveway.
It didn't seem so big at the dealership, specially after test driving the forester. Its got to be a foot taller than the SVX. No it is not a 3.6R. It is a 2.5i Premium. Additional Options: Lineartronic™ CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with 6-speed manual mode and paddle shifters. Trunk Spoiler. http://www.subaru.com/vehicles/legac...ium/index.html |

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
your first post was throwing me off, i see you edited it
2.5 comes with a cvt the 3.6 comes with a 5eat i have 5eat in my outback and i wish i had one in my svx some info on subaru automatic transmissions and awd systems . Active All wheel drive found in the 4eat and the cvt The mechanism that transfers torque fore and aft is contained within the transmission’s tailshaft. To the casual observer it looks just like a typical hydraulic clutch found in any automatic. The key difference in this clutch pack is its operation. It’s designed to slip according to how much all-wheel drive is needed. When an automatic’s clutch slips, it is due to a malfunction and will eventually burn up. But the multi-plate transfer (MPT) clutch uses a special friction material that easily withstands the friction loads generated during torque transfer. (Also referred to as VTC = Variable Transfer Clutch) The MPT’s operation is controlled by the Transmission Control Unit (or TCU) and constantly changes dependent on how the vehicle is being driven. To get more all-wheel drive, the TCU increases the hydraulic pressure to the clutch for less slippage. Less all-wheel drive calls for more slip and the TCU reduces the hydraulic pressure to the clutch. Under normal, dry pavement operation torque split is about 90% front and 10% rear. This distribution helps to compensate for the car’s weight distribution and resultant smaller effective rolling diameter of the front tires. As weight transfers to the rear of the vehicle, (i.e., under acceleration), the TCU shifts the torque split more toward the rear wheels. Under hard braking, torque is directed forward. Torque distribution is changed based upon how the vehicle is being driven. Throttle position, gearshift lever position, current gear and other factors combine to influence the TCU and it, in turn, selects a software map that determines how aggressively torque split will be adjusted. MODELS WITH FIVE-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION – VARIABLE TORQUE DISTRIBUTION ALL-WHEEL DRIVE: As with Active All-Wheel Drive, an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch distributes power, but through a planetary-type center differential and a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rear-wheel-biased 45/55 split front to rear. Sensors monitor the same parameters as for Active All-Wheel Drive nice looking lego |

Looks like a Maxima's cousin. Congrats on the new car.

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
It didn't look that big when I passed one on the freeway yesterday, but parked next to an SVX, it's huge!
I always thought the SVX was big for a 2-door.

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
Do you have any under-hood shots of it? I know it's just a bunch of black plastic under there, but I can't for the life of me figure out what they've got in there to fill up all that space. I mean, you could stack 2 EG33s under there and still have room, so other than a 2.5L motor what else is in there? I'm picturing a bedroom set with nice floor lamps and a king size bed.
Congrats on the purchase. I don't want to come off like I'm knocking it. It is a very nice looking car. I like the Merc S-Class fender flairs and the CVT should be pretty cool (as long as they've improved it since the Justy). I just can't figure out why it's sooooo BIG. I'd love to see it parked next to a first generation Legacy. When I went from a '92 Lego to the SVX my first reaction was "man this thing is huge".

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
I know black is a slimming color, but that is a huge difference.
And supposedly the Legacy (34-3500lbs) weighs less than the 3600+ SVX I still wish for a car to come from Subaru that combines the best of the SVX and 05-09 Legacy and WRX STI, on the physical length of the 08+ impreza, minus a lot of vertical height, and with SVX's sleekness. I hope the new Legacy serves well.

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
Seems the pics are deceiving, or doctored
The pic taken from the rear of the SVX shows a different size relationship. Parking the cars side by side would make better shots.

Sitting in traffic, I've noticed the trunk lid on some cars seems to be at my eye level from the vantage point of the SVX. Congrats on the purchase, Lookin4SVX. dcb |

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
First off, let me clear something up, it is not my legacy.
I just said my SVX has a new friend in the Driveway. It is my moms new ride, the grocery getter. She works about 1/2 mile down the road, she just got it. Second, I agree that it is an ugly car. 3rd, Photos are not doctored other than my ugly house background are blurred. 4th, I will get shots with them side by side and all sorts of angles. 5th, I will get shots under the hood. |

Re: A New Friend For My SVX
Now come on, Camry's don't have BOXER engines,
yet And, when and if, that would make a Camry a SUBARU
