Everyone here that is saying "it's just like a Hyundai or XYZ" is forgetting one thing!
 
IT HAS SUBARU UNDERPINNINGS: Engine, Suspension, AWD System
 
That's what makes a Subaru a Subaru and why it will out perform FWD based AWD systems with non Boxer engines!

The headlights kinda look like the Inf. FX35/45 ...
It no longer stands out.

If no longer standing out translates to increased sales, then it's good for Subaru. They are not in business to sell cars that stand out or are "weird" they are in business to sell as many cars as they can, and whatever means get them to that end is what they'll do to survive, period.

I liked the grille, which I likened to the Veyron. Pic for fun:
 

 
It will definitely be remembered as cutting edge. The market just wasn't ready for Subaru to be the one to deliver that kind of bold statement, though. Bugatti will get the credit.
 
Oh well, I like the new one as well.
 
Only the headlight shape looks like the Santa Fe, I didn't mean to imply the whole SUV did. And who cares? The Santa Fe is a handsome SUV anyway, it's just a bit low budget next to the Tribeca.
 
Only question now is: what colors will be available? Atlantic Blue is a front runner, but I like that silver in the pictures.

Aspen? Naaaah.... by ateixeira

You really think it looks like this?
 

 
The grille alone, maybe, even then Subaru's is much smaller and has a different shape along the top. The headlights on the Aspen are enormous and have that round edge on the bottom, plus that hood has those stripes running the length of it.
 
The overall effect of the new Tribeca looks nothing at all like the new Tribeca.

Here is a full-frontal view of the Tribeca to make it easy to compare:
 

 
While the grille is a bit similar, the overall effect is not at all Chrysler-ish IMO.
 
Aspen ain't bad looking, anyway. Looks better than the Durango ever did by far.

Yes. Haven't ironed out the details yet, but I'm going with Bob.
 
I guess I'll wake up as early as I can, and drive to Bob's, who is about 45 minutes north from me. We drive another 4.5 hours or so to NY, so I figure we'll get there just after lunch.
 
e-mail me so we can swap phone numbers. Add ifc.org to the end of my handle.

Last month, OB: 4955. Foresters: 5,306. Tribeca: 1,517. The relation is 3:1 and 3.5:1 in each case. The thing is like strange, 'cause Minnesota is Subaru country and I see 20 Outbacks before I see one Tribeca. It looks like Tribeca owners are embarrased, so they don't go out. Hopefully, this all is going to change with the redesign.
