For example:The cars with the Lancia aurelia looking rear window (for lack of a better name) are the nicest looking and seem to have the most cohesive shape. Any idea why they changed to the later rear shape? I have often wondered if they had stuck with the Aurelia window rear shape would the later streched out SZ(coda tronca) have been neccesary? Here is an example of the Aurelia window rear I am refering to. Keep in mind I am speaking about the entire rear of the car not just the shape of the window.

Each to their own. I'll take the shape of the Coda Tonda any day. I had a fourth series Aurelia for a couple of years, however I greatly prefer the compactness and simplicity of the SZ (the Aurelia is a fairly big car). Also note SZ running ahead of SVZ, proper order. - George
PS has this SVZ gotten any further documentation since it surfaced in Texas?
