Subaru SVX

The Subaru SVX is a grand touring coupe made by Subaru in Japan from 1991 to 1996. Its weirdest quirk: The side glass is a window within a window: only an inner pane, about two-thirds of each door window, actually rolls down.

A Giugiaro-designed flat-six grand tourer from Subaru with all-wheel drive and what Subaru called an 'aircraft-inspired glass-to-glass canopy' wrapping over the cabin.
