Not in the people mover. For the rest of our fleet, yes.
 
I have my Miata, wife has her Subaru, and then the kids pretty much own the van.

There you go. So if the mini-van had altezzas you wouldn't know or care. That's very typical of the demographic of folks buying Toyotas. I believe the Tribecca fits this mold to a certain extent, at least more-so than other Subarus.
 
Heck there are some Toyota non-car folks that I know who weren't sure if they had a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord when I asked what they drove!

It would not be a deal-killer on any car I was going to buy.
 
I care more about how it drives, not how it looks!
 
Edit: in the case of the van, how it rides, more so than how it drives.

Tribeca Arm Rests by slance66

We just bought an almost new demo 2007 Tribeca. I like almost everything about it so far, and the build quality and fit an finish are quite a bit above the competition.
 
My wife drives this car and has one major complaint, the arm rest on both sides is useless. Here arms (and mine when I drive) don't even get anywhere close to the arm rests. What the hell was Subaru doing and does anybody have any suggestions on fixes? I fear that driving this car may lead to a lot of fatigue as a result.

You're quite right. After driving vehicles where I could always rest my elbows with my hands on the wheel- in the 'beca I cannot. It was almost a deal breaker for me, but there was still no other car I wanted more.
 
Strangely- after a year of ownership, I kinda' forgot all about this difference.
 
Think of the extra 'strength training' that you'll get

Nothing looks better than black. Go for it.
You'll enjoy washing it as looks so beautiful when it's clean.
 
Cars are an emotional purchase, not a practical one. Go with what makes you happy. You won't regret it.
 
I've got the titanium silver. Hides the dirt well, but frankly- it doesn't look nearly as sharp as the Black.

Backup or Reverse Assist Sensors by irollit

To anyone who has the Backup Sensors on their Tribeca:
 
How exactly do these sensors work? How close would the object have to be before it makes a sound? It seems like it would make a sound every time in a parking lot when backing up.
 
It wouldn't help me if it went off every time I put my vehicle in reverse. I would expect it to really alert me to an object I could not see in my mirrors.
 
I am not fond of high pitched sounds. Is the sound annoying? I read that there is more than one sound option on these. Are they both high pitched? Is there a sound level adjustment?
 
They will be available late summer for the 2009 Forester. I was told it will be the same as the ones installed on the Tribeca before the backup camera was available.
