It took the heat of of Audi's new grill, Subaru's is worse.

Remember that 2006 impreza thread in "not SVX'......well that impreza looks nothing like what was in road and track. The 06 impreza they showed in road and track had the alfa grill with the same WRX headlights now....just a tad bit smaller. I actually thing it looked really good and the grill doesnt look so bad on that 06 impreza. But the tribeca is starting to grow on me....all the mags seem to like it too except for the front end designing.

I think the tribecas grill looks horrible. What in gods green earth made them stick that thing on the car? If that really is the "direction" subaru wants to go with, subaru will definitely lose ALOT of customers.

Ok so at work today i tried to look for the lil thing about the SVX... and was unsuccessful. The car and driver i had did say something about 50th anniversary but who knows... what does the cover look like? Or what page is it, i thought i remembered someone saying page 260 or 261 but this issue didnt go up that high, so maybe i had the wrong one .

I don't believe that it's really a '60 Buick in disguise. It's not even a Roadmaster. Can't we get an SVX, instead, and then have Alfred supe it up?"

That wasn't an Impreza, it was a R1. Much, much smaller. The photos here of the Impreza were pretty ugly as well. The one good thing in the article was that Subaru said it's not putting that face on all of it's cars. Second thoughts already?

Just a little off topic, but I met the man who built that bat-mobil. He is a custom car builder and he had a fully restored and pimped out 57 chevy coupe when he was here for the 4th of July. There were many other classic cars out that night but it was before I owned my SVX.

OK, you said Road and Track. I don't get that one. There be the problem! I still don't like it. I saw a Tribeca up close and personal today. The med blue looks nice, the interior is amazing, and I still don't like the nose. Becker has a ton of them.

Holy Hot Wheels Tom,

I always thought George Barris (the famous customizer) was responsible for the TV show Batmobile.

Like I said, this was some time ago, I am not sure of the guy's name or what he did for a living, but my old man made it clear to me when he introduced me that he was the man who built the bat-mobile

I only now realized that in the pic of the batmobile they are trying to point out that Batman has his cape caught in the door.

[TomsSVX]

It isn't a Buick. It was a Lincoln show car.
