9. Subaru SVX
Back in the early `90s, Subaru wanted to enter the sports car market and promote its biggest assets – all-wheel drive and flat-six engines. So, the company hired Italdesign to design sleek and modern coupe. In 1991 the SVX debuted with strange styling, complicated side window patents but sublime handling and great performance.
However, the car was heavy and it was introduced at the same time as much more competent competitors from other brands which made Subaru kind of redundant. Under the hood was a 3.3-liter flat-six which propelled this rare car to 7.3 seconds 0 to 60 mph times. Only about 14.000 were sold in America until 1996.
