    New Subaru SUV

    I'm in the market for a new wagon/small SUV, and was told to check out the new Subaru B9 Tribeca (www.b9tribeca.com)... Holy fucking shit, its terrible. It looks like the cannabalized many different vehicle stylings from other companies... Never been a huge fan of Subaru US styling choices, so I hope this isn't something that was brewed overseas... Ugh.
    OOOOOOOHHHH, I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!

    Wow, you are right. Butt ugly. And expensive, too.

    How could Subaru blow it like that?

    As usual, Subaru is playing catch-up to everyone else... Where's the B4 wagon?!? It took them long enough to frickin' get the WRX here. Anyhow... I'm just bitter, because I like Subaru, and they could do so much better.

    say what? All wheel drive since before grass grew. State car of Vermont since 1980. puh-leaze.

    That thing is ugly, though. But then again, most of these suburban mommy things I see are god awful too.

    If they really want to catch up to the rest of the trash world I live around up here, they have to make a stupid big pickup truck. That seems to be what the American male want to go into another 40,000 of debt for.

    although I've heard they won't be selling in the manual version in the US. Supposedly it will be out around August

    What??? You mean Saab was re-badging the impreza as a Saab. You got that backwards.

    Subaru should stick to what they do best:

    fast ralley cars


    and cheap durable beater snow cars

    Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

    VW TDIs not currently availible with 4motion right? My Mom's got a Jetta TDI which kicks ass, if they made it in 4X I'd consider it. Can you sleep in the back of a Jetta wagon?

    It does as does the Passat TDI...but if you are looking for pure practicality try a Renult Kangoo TD 4x4

    Tom, that think is sick! Can you DIY the steering wheel to the other side for me?

    These are the exact type of vehicles we need in the US.

Curious about rumors of a legacy sti...Of course it's all rumors, suby is pretty secretive about this shit til it's about to happen. Mmmm 300 hp legacy.
