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. Last edited by Weebitob; 06-17-2005 at 01:19 AM. |

In Black, that would be a great X5 butt kicker! I think it looks better in darker colors; black with a blacked out nose would look nice.

I realize I'm out of tune with the times when it comes to automotive styling, but hanging more plastic crap and pink decals on a vehicle that's already pretty hard on the eyes adds nothing to its appeal. Awful.

i think its an improvement at least - it seems to minimize the "frog look" with the grille and blacked-out headlights.
as was mentioned on NASIOC, i think it would look better with the lower profile LGT hoodscoop.

On top of all that, you'd probably have a $50k vehicle on your hands

And when I meant good performing I meant handling wise as an SUV, even though its 0-60 is in est. 8.9 seconds, which is ok for a SUV, it does have many characteristics that can make it more of a performance one such as the Volvo V8 XC90, Hemi Grand Cherokee and even the Porsche Cheyenne. Subaru had the intent on turning the STi marque into one that meant performance on all application including luxury ones, nows their chance. |
