Yep, sounds like that would be the plan. It'll be up to the marketing dept whether to determine the viability of a larger Subaru. Another factor will be the upcoming CAFE standards, which is an argument against. Would be great if they could be first or early w/a legit. hybrid version of a vehicle that size -- would be a huge selling point. Here's hoping they do so while keeping some of the current Tribeca characteristics. I own the '06 -- yeah, it's a little small, lacks a bit of acceleration (though the newer ones are improved), but its ride and handling are better than almost anything else in its class and the interior is very nice. Don't have the new Outback # in front of me, but the Tribeca was/is the only Subaru wide enough to accommodate two car seats w/a passenger in the middle.

We like the our Tribeca. But as I mentioned above, it would be better with the above mentioned changes. Nice road car, stops well, sometimes has a funny hesitation when moving off from a dead stop. I find myself using the sport shift to hasten the forward movement and going down slippery slopes (we live about 2 miles off the paved road and have to travel over several ridges). But I'm impatiently waiting for direct injection on the Outback 4 cylinder. My '98 OBW is getting a little old, even though it only has 119,000 miles. It is being used as the towed vehicle behind the motor home so in reality it has about 135,000 miles. I'd love to use the Tribeca, but it is not towable on 4 tires.

Replying to: rsholland (Dec 06, 2009 4:07 pm) I may try to steal it. Edit: did you catch the part about ALG's top residuals for the Forester and Outback, and Subaru overall as a mainstream brand? Sweet. |
