I'm neither here nor there on the looks. Not much different than the Venza really which could well be the competition. Wonder if they will drop the 3rd row like Toyota did if it comes over to NA? The 3rd row looks small child only, but I consider that acceptable in a well priced unit. It wasn't forgivable at the Tribeca's price point for us.

Tribeca's 3rd row is so low it pushes your knees up practically to chest level. From the photos, it looks to me like Exiga may be a big improvement in that area. Still looks small, but might be a more normal (comfortable) seating position... I'd be OK with that.

I'm with Jeff, though I do wish they had made it a little bit bigger.
 
If it were Tribeca sized, yet shaped like it is (boxy, efficient space utilization), it would be a real contender and worth bringing to the US.

It's significantly smaller than the Tribecca so I highly doubt the 3rd row will be more roomy than the Tribecca.
 
I'm with bob, it's bland as can be. A lot of Avalon/Camry hints (NOT A GOOD THING).

I agree, but what I think it that if they had made it bigger, i.e. Tribeca-sized, it would be roomier because it's more space efficient than the Tribeca is.

The Track Oriented STI by kurtamaxxxguy

Question... given how many reviewers complain about the current STI's suspension:
 
Should Subaru build a version of the WRX STI devoted solely to the track?
 
Would a flat cornering, limited travel suspension be a good option for it?
(in other words, make a Lotus Elise out of it)?

Nope, cause they'll sell about 300 of them, not worth it for them to produce such a vehicle. If someone is going to track their car they will be modifying it anyway so throwing on some coilovers and sway bars isn't that difficult. 1 saturday and you have it done.

Not sure that i agree you on that Mike. Subaru already does offer very limited edition models, and has done so for years. The new Legacy STI 402 is being built in numbers of 402, hence the name. Plus in Japan they offer the STI spec.C, which is about as track-ready a car as you will ever find coming from a factory; again being produced in very limited numbers.
 
I think the real problem here is getting a vehicle with a very low production number here certified for sale. I may not be worth SOA's effort to do so.

Perhaps then the Performance unit of Subaru should offer a "track kit" ? Perhaps they already do ?
 
Perhaps then the reviewers who bitch about the STI can get a "track ready" version to try out and be happier ?
 
For that matter, how many of the STI's sold are used for the track, rather than rally racing?

Interesting that you should say that.
 
I agree that Subaru should offer some sort of "factory" sport set-up for the (Impreza) STI, be it a specific model or just an option package. In fact, it was mentioned here.
