10. Subaru SVX (1991)
The Subaru SVX, introduced in 1991, featured a distinctive “window-within-a-window” design, where a fixed outer pane surrounded a smaller, operable inner window. This innovative configuration minimized wind noise and allowed the larger window to remain sealed, enhancing aerodynamics and reducing buffeting. The SVX’s sleek, jet-inspired lines and extensive glass areas prefigured the glass-heavy cabins of modern electric vehicles, influencing contemporary automotive design. (Jalopnik)
