B9 Tribeca

[Jerre Bassler]

In the latest Drive magazine from Subaru it shows the new B9 Tribeca.
If this is the future of Subaru, I think I will looking at other cars.
Several show cars have been shown using this new look for Subaru. What
a shame. These designers should be fired. After giving us the great new
Legacy, how could they come up with that ugly front end look.
I think Subaru is also deserting its base by trying to go upscale
including the pricing of their cars. I think the future looks and higher
pricing will kill this company again.
I understand that Saab will also get this new car. Perhaps they will
improve on the looks and you can count on a price improvement - higher
yet.

The nose is a little odd, but I like it.

It took awhile to grow on me, but I like it.

I don't so much dislike the Tribeca but I do wish they do something with that front end. I've been thinking about a Honda Pilot for my next
car. I'm on my 2nd Subaru - a 99 SUS Ltd and my parents just got their 8 so we're deep into Subarus and I really would feel bad not getting
another Subaru but thought about going to something bigger and love the Pilot... but now that I see the Tribeca, by the time I'm ready for a
new car (hopefully another 3 or 4 years, as I'm just about to hit 100K miles on mine), the new model kinks will be worked out and it might
be in the running.

It looks like Nissan designers got a hold of it!

After several days of web surfing I have get used to the new look. The
only problem will be the price

Aren't Subarus supposed to look strange? That used to be part of their
appeal.

I didn't think I'd be saying this, but I think it's well done (in front).
The new look works. It's sure a relief after seeing that sporty car concept
a year or so ago. That was really ugly. As for the rest of the Tribeca, I
need to see one in the sheet metal. I look at the side view and think "Lexus
RX 330." That's not a compliment. The back is slightly intriguing--overall,
OK. Yep, price will be a problem. I still love my XT Premium. No big
motivation to get something new now.

I think that it looks like a harmless widower.

Yeah, I think a lot of times people forget how bizzarre the old models
looked. I kinda liked that.
