I didm't mean to imply the the look was the only factor, but like the Cadillac commercial, it has to turn me on (at least to a degree). Maybe that is why I never bought a Volvo Oh I understand. I really think styling has a place on everyone's list, whether they will admit it or not. I've heard even the most conservative functionality based posters on this board say something about a style that they like or didn't like. |

Replying to: steve_ (Feb 17, 2008 7:02 pm) It was a Tribeca. I don't see any resemblance. I can see some resemblance to the last gen Town & Country actually. From certain angles anyway. The big difference in size is enough to make me not think the Tribeca is a minivan though. Personally I think the new Tribeca is pretty decent looking. It's not exciting or drop dead gorgeous, but it's likeable IMO. Definietly better than their first effort. My neighbor has one of those and it amazes me how ugly it is every time I see it. You just have to stare at it sometimes.

Replying to: albook (Feb 17, 2008 6:15 pm) That's correct. In this world, you need to concentrate on what you need to do to succeed, and not worry about what your competition is doing. Since Mazda does not have the capabilities produce units like Honda / Toyota / Nissan / Ford / GM, they are best suited to stick to their guns, and steadily grow as a company. Which is what they are doing and doing well. |

Replying to: steve_ (Feb 17, 2008 7:02 pm) I see it. That's a comment I made when I first saw it. The headlights and grille, along with the downward sloping hood make it look like the last gen. Town and Country, as someone else mentioned. In other news, someone in a Frontier flipped their rig right in the middle of the two lane as we were heading down after lunch. Guess there's a bit of black ice out there. The weather's been bad lately. I guess this is one of the perks of having a CUV/ vehicle with all wheel drive. |

Replying to: steve_ (Feb 17, 2008 7:02 pm) you're right, that's because there is none... "Guess there's a bit of black ice out there." considering the thaw with above freezing weather yesterday here, I doubt black ice was a factor in an SUV rolling over.

Replying to: freealfas (Feb 18, 2008 9:37 am) I guess I'll have to pay more attention to the Tribeca/Caravan looks. It was a newer Tribeca without that nose, but I'm fixated on the good old days when I had a boxy Voyager.
