It actually takes an alright SUV crossover and turns it into something that is quite good looking. I think we all agree that the front air dam with lip spoiler and black out grill takes away from the focus on the front schnauzer and spreads it evenly throughout the whole body. It also turns its look from an inflated Alfa Romeo 147 to some sort of freak mix between a WRX STi and a GTA, in a good way with the STi hood scoupe actually making the front look sleeker. Me likes.
Not to mention considering the Tribeca is not as long as the Legacy Wagon and about only an inch or two high than the Outback with a wider wheelbase, any performance boost would actually turn it into a decent performer in its own right.
