Replying to: dt63944 (Apr 10, 2007 8:40 pm) Newcomers such as the CX9, Veracruz, Outlook, Acadia, and Enclave are all competing for the same buyers. On the budget side, you have upward pressure from the Santa Fe, XL7, RAV4, and Outlander, all which offer a 3rd row as well. So there are more entries competing for the same slice of pie. Still, I predict about a 50% increase in sales, potentially double the sales if they set the pricing properly. I looked again, and $31k and change buys a 7 pass LTD with NAV right now. Great deal. Invoice is $34k. Automotive News said the price may drop by $1000, and that should put the invoice around $33k. Even so, the actual street price would be up a couple of grand. It's certainly worth more with the new engine, but a $2000 increase will limit how much the sales will grow. |

| Does anyone have an answer to why is Subaru considering us americans lesser species than others? I was holding off on the purchase of a new Tribeca with the hope that it will have Xenon HID lights in the future, like other competitors here, only to find out that this feature is going to be offered only to the canadians: "CANADIAN LINE-UP The 2008 Tribeca will be offered in three trim levels: the 5 passenger Tribeca, the Tribeca Limited Package with leather interior, and the 7-passenger Tribeca Premier Package with leather, third-row seating,navigation system and rear-seat DVD entertainment. In addition all 2008 Tribecas sold in Canada will be equipped with High Intensity Discharge (HID)headlights. Subaru Canada, Inc. will announce pricing for the 2008 Tribeca closer to the on sale date this summer"-from Subaru Canada website. | |

Replying to: occking (Apr 13, 2007 3:53 am) Here in the US, most models carry a price advantage over similar competitors. That's not the case at all in Canada. For whatever reason buyers there are less price sensitive. Another example - since 2002 the WRX came with heated seats in Canada. More content is fairly common.

Replying to: paisan (Apr 13, 2007 12:08 pm) The Mazda CX9 offers them but I priced one with NAV and heated leather and it was $36,561 (no-haggle price). The same dealers had the Tribeca LTD w/NAV for $31,761. That's about $5 grand more; I'm sure you could buy the HID parts for less than half that amount. |
