Quirk Database1990sJapanNormal-looking, weird inside
Subaru SVX
The Subaru SVX is a grand touring coupé made by Subaru in Japan from 1991 to 1996. Its weirdest quirk: The side glass is a window within a window: only a smaller pane set into each door window actually opens.
A Giugiaro-designed flat-six grand tourer from Subaru with four-wheel drive and a glass canopy that wraps over the cabin like a fighter jet.
