Replying to: kamaki369 (Apr 03, 2007 7:53 am) EXPECTING MORE? What planet do you live on? This is only 2 years into the cycle, we are lucky that we got a re-design so quickly. The improvements as bob said will boost sales on this imensely and it'll be a good seller for them. -mike

Replying to: paisan (Apr 03, 2007 8:16 am) I'm a Subie fan (already had 3 in the past and wanted to make them 4) so ofcourse I have higher expectations from Subaru.

Is winning on me. If Subaru forget the idea of pricing it like an Acura, things are going to be interesting. It will be tough for a lot of people paying the same for a Hyundai. Remember the resale value? The Highlander never caught the Subaru fan. So this time it'll be running easy. As a former Forester owner, and actual OB owner, now I can see the natural next step.

Replying to: nickel (Apr 03, 2007 8:39 am) About the interior quality, that can be priced in as an extra. And as for the exterior - I prefer the the old design to the new

Replying to: kamaki369 (Apr 03, 2007 8:52 am) 3.0L Diesel, don't count on it being sold here. Heck the Jeep dropped the CRD Liberty due to emissions testing issues. It *may* make it here eventually but it's expensive to get it tested etc, especially if they aren't going to sell a lot of them. 6-speed, yeah it would be nice but it costs a lot to do, especially since they just did the 5EAT a few years ago. As for upgrading the interior, people are already complaining about the price, anything more would push it out of range completely for a Subaru. -mike |

I had a B9 Tribeca as a rental car and loved the way it drove. I wasn't that impressed with the old style front end. It looked too weird, and the new one almost looks too conservative. There should be some attractive center that Subaru seems unable to find. The only other complaints I had were seemingly poor gas mileage. Is that any better with the new engine? On a several hundred mile stint in the rental I didn't even manage 20mpg. Also, I noticed the third row had absolutely NO leg room. Is the new one longer with more third row space? Lastly, and this is the kicker, I hated the Starship Enterprise center console. Has this been changed? I could look past all of the other nit picks I had, but the space age center console single handily prevented me from considering one of these a year ago when I was looking for a three row family vehicle. I ended up with a Ford Freestyle which has a LOT more interior room and gets better gas mileage but at the same time is boring in the looks department. - Chad
