#2283 of 2332 sorry 'bout that swampy by ateixeira Jun 15, 2005 (5:51 am)
I forgot you own the trademark for the "full post in the title" strategy. I've participated in several focus groups, some are better than others to be honest. They definitely target the group to try to answer specific questions. Never did an automotive related one, though. -juice
#2284 of 2332 Tribeca suggestions by bat1161 Jun 15, 2005 (9:21 am)
A couple of suggestions for the Tribeca following my test drive: 1) Telescoping steering wheel and pedals. I know lots of people have asked for the steering column, but the pedals are necessary as well for those who are a bit shorter in stature. 2) A back up sensor of some type. Even the salesman I spoke with recommended picking up an after-market back up sensor. With the size of the back window, it would be very helpful even necessary. 3) As noted by most people, more power. Once you are moving it is ok, but to merge onto a highway with a full load I can see needing more time presently. That's it for the moment. Otherwise, I feel they did a nice job. Mark
#2285 of 2332 Fun car positioned below the Impreza? by rsholland Jun 15, 2005 (10:23 am)
This is Nissan's new Micra C+C, with a 1.4L engine. I think it's a JDM model. http://www.japanesecarfans.com/news.cfm/newsid/2050615.005/pageview/photo/photo/Mini3/page- /1/nissan/1.html Subaru might consider offering something like this, and have it positioned under the the Impreza. Maybe 1.5/1.6 boxer (which they already have) and with AWD; could be cool? Bob
#2286 of 2332 Interesting (old!) idea... by rsholland Jun 15, 2005 (10:49 am)
if Subaru does do a new Baja. I could see this idea being used on the rear fender. Bob

#2289 of 2332 Tribeca STi anyone? by rsholland Jun 15, 2005 (11:19 am)
Hmmm... Granted, this is a bit severe, but it hints at what a B9 Tribeca 3.0R Spec B could look (somewhat) like, that I mentioned a few posts back. Dave, are you out there—and listening??? Bob Replies to this message: p0926 (Jun 15, 2005 2:07 pm)
#2290 of 2332 STi by ateixeira Jun 15, 2005 (12:45 pm)
Micra is a bit small and toy-like but I'd kill to see Subaru do a roadster. I prefer the B9SC by far, though. Tribeca STi: * grille inserts look HAWT I bet it would sell like crazy * painted flares look better on this vehicle than the stock black ones * some of the ground effects are a bit much, just paint them body color * use a FMIC because the scoop is a bit much on this design Heck yeah, though, that looks great! -juice

Replying to: rsholland (Jun 15, 2005 11:19 am) I agree with Juice, the grill looks mucho better and Subaru could sell a bunch of them. Ground effects and scoop are what you'd expect on a Spec B but those 20" wheels look ridiculously the way they're completely filling the wheel wells. -Frank
