So, they really do exist...
I finally saw a Tribeca this morning. First time. 7:07 AM. It caught my eye because I thought it was about to pull out in front of me. Then I noticed the ridge along the quarter panel that tapers into the tail lights. Then that face.
This is not an attractive vehicle (which I could get beyond if it looked distinctive, but it doesn't). But then, it was still kinda dark. dcb

I have seen quite a few of them around here but it took me a long time to realize it was a subaru.

There's one down the street from me a few houses. Actually, there's about 5 or 6 Subaru's within spitting distance of me. I kinda like the Tribeca. Maybe I'm just a little too enamoured with Subbies, but I find the B9 attractive. Plus the interior's neat. 3.6 coming huh? mmmmmmmm...

I have yet to see one in Gainesville. The dealer doesn't even have one. Haven't seen one on the interstate or in Jacksonville (my daughter's home). I think a redesign is in order.

They are everywhere here so I guess I am fortunate to find them attractive.

I see 'em alot in my town. After I see 'em a while, I don't think they look that bad. They have their attractive side. The interior is nice from them.

I think they should have redesigned the Forester instead of designing the Tribeca. It's just not practical,

Ditto, the 3.0 H6 is good for 245-250. The B9 does need to loose some pounds though. I guess bloated is the best way to descibe how it looks to me, from the outside or sitting in it. It just feels like there's way more vehicle than there should be. I kinda feel that way with most SUV's though.
