New Subaru Tribeca
http://www.thecarconnection.com/index.asp?article=7871
Subaru recently confirmed what we’ve been showing you since last year — that a new seven-passenger crossover vehicle was in development. Now, our spies have nabbed the real thing, just a week before its official Detroit show introduction.
Officially named the B9 Tribeca, the vehicle was caught during a video shoot in Long Beach, California. As can be seen, this crossover is larger than the Outback and it wears Subaru’s new signature grille.
Developed under the codenames SG/X and ooX, the premium crossover wagon has already hit the consumer clinics in southern California , and has received positive feedback. Subaru insiders have commented about the vehicle’s very versatile and highly flexible interior, and it’s believed that the second and third rows of seats will fold flat to accommodate cargo, as well as flexible seating configurations. More accurately, insiders have been referring to this as a 5+2 passenger configuration.
The 2006 Tribeca will be built in Lafayette, Indiana, and should start running off the assembly line in just a year from now. Sources tell us it will measure in at about 195 inches overall, with a 108-inch wheelbase. Power is expected to come from Subaru’s 3.0-liter H6 boxer engine, and, of course, it will be all-wheel drive. Pricing likely will start from the low-to-mid $30,000 range with an estimated production of up to 40,000 units annually. The Subaru vehicle will be followed by Saab’s version built on the same platform, and also built in Lafayette.

Yeah, it looks like they are trying on that new nose now. Definite does not look good.
But hey, at least it is a Subaru.

WHat's wrong with the nose?
Did Subaru look at the S-Type and say "That's a good looking front. Lets add it on our new car." ??!?!?!!?

What an ugly pos... i shat my pants in horror. Subaru's new face is feral and they didnt pull off the alfa concept crossover copy too well. I don't know how a company that made the legacy shat out this load of crap.
