Subaru B9X Tibeca pic

so this it......

comments about the styling?

[shelfy]

i got my c&d issue on friday and thought the exterior styling was a little more conservative than that of drawings i'd seen recently. finally, the wing-shaped grille is starting to grow on me. i think me likey. now if only, they'd develop to larger engine to handle my towing needs, i could replace the jeep with it and have an all-subaru fleet.

however, taking a closer look at the interior, i think i may not have adequate knee room. guess i'll have to find out when they hit showrooms.

it looks kinda SVX-like. i know my larger passengers hate the knee-room in the SVX, although the driver's side seems to have a little more than the passenger side.

(well you get the point) and all this = Yuck!
(although I reserve the right to change my mind when I see one in person!)

Looks better than that Saturn minivan thing.

It's not to bad looking but it looks like it will seat 7 people and non of their luggage Have to see one in person to decide overall but as far as looks I wouldn't go so far as to call it ugly.

i guess what i meant was, "THE LOWER PART OF THE DASH looks SVX-like."

i can't say i like the looks, but i was expecting worse.

Great Link Andy!

Funny thing is, indivdualy I kinda like most of the vehicles I mentioned in my first post, but when you smash them all together to make this thing, I don't like it. I certinaly doesn't look like something I would have expected from Subaru, The should have just "Supersized" the Forster!

Subaru has always wanted to move more mainstream. Maybe this will be te car to do it for them, I don't know. Either way, I have little use for this particular car, so there's not much of a point in me taking too much time out of my day to form an opinion.

But maybe there's room in the Murano / FX market for somethng like this. It'll be interesting to see.

I don't know if it is just me but the B9x has somewhat of an oldschool look you can associate with the Japanese hatches and wagons of the 1980s not to mention early to mid 90s, like the Honda City, Civic AWD wagon or Subaru Rex.

Perhaps I think that way because the Tribeca looks sort of like a sleakened Subaru Rex or Vivio with a grill and headlight change. Also you can say its an upsized version of the Subaru R2 or visa versa.

this one's not awd, but here's what they look like:

Weren't they part-time 4WD, not AWD?

I like the styling...not too sure about the interior.

It does look like leg and knee room would be a bit inadequate but pics never do anything justice.

I can't wait to see one up close
