17. Subaru SVX
The Subaru SVX, produced from 1991 to 1996, was a luxury coupe that combined distinctive design with advanced engineering. Its most notable feature was the “window-within-a-window” side-glass configuration, inspired by aircraft design, which contributed to its unique appearance. Under the hood, the SVX was equipped with a 3.3-liter flat-six engine, delivering 230 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0-60 mph acceleration in approximately 7.3 seconds. Despite its performance and innovative features, the SVX faced challenges such as high pricing and an unconventional design, leading to limited sales and its eventual discontinuation. Nevertheless, it remains a testament to Subaru’s engineering ambitions and stands as a collector’s gem today. (Motor Trend: Subaru SVX Retrospective)
