Default Subaru Tribeca

http://www.subaru.com/sub/b9/home_flash.html

I think it looks nice except tha back liftgate is kinda wierd at the bottom
I like the interior design front and back (2nd and 3rd row seats excecuted really well with nice headrests that dont need to be stored in tha compartment in the back)

THe dash is nice and electro luminiscent (sp) guages and lighted
steering controls

h. power is at par with the pilot (torque a bit less maybe) but not bad numbers for a 3.0 H6

and of course full time awd and sportshift
impressive competition from FHI..i wonder what the price will be?

NOt that i would buy another SUV for at least a while but its good to see SoA getting on the bandwagon.

what u guys think?

When I first saw early spy shots several months ago, I was turned off by it - but it kinda grows on you (like the Ridgeline).

Not crazy about the premium fuel requirement of the 3.0 boxer and I was amazed to see the oil capacity of 7.6 quarts!!

I've heard pricing to be in the MDX range - so this may be the end of "Inexpensive, and built to stay that way"!!!



BTW, I DO like Subarus!!

Well, it took them 3 years to light the handlebar controls on the Honda GL1800 - so maybe NEXT year we will see it on the Pilot!!!

IMHO, it looks a lot like the RX330 from the side.
