Why, then, are Tribeca sales a major disappointment for Subaru? And
why do
the automotive magazines all, without exception, rate it worse than its

competition? Subaru will most likely drop the ugly, incompetent thing
from
their line next year.

Uh, Maxi....this kind of ends the idea that you know cars. The Tribeca
outsold ALL other SUV crossovers per factory orders, barely edging out
the Lexus 330. Meanwhile, Suburu could not predict the current gas
surge which has hurt all SUV makers. Since they still sold over 2000
Tribeca's per month, it gave Suburu their best year in HISTORY. The
only model recently offered to truly fail was the Baja Outback.
Oh...and just to show that you haven't gotten ANYTHING right...the 2007
Tribeca is already on the web with a few new features. Rumors says
she'll get a Turbo for 2008 and possibly help from Toyota for the
Hybrid version. You do know that Toyota took GM's stake in Suburu,
Don't you????
Here's more...
