Subaru Tribeca = Boulevard Car!
 
Best riding TRUCK, but the B9, Lexus RX330 and BMW X5 all handle and

ride better because they're LUXURY SUVs

Who classifies the Subaru as a LUXURY SUV? Even the girlie Lexus
RX300/330 is only classified as an entry level semi luxury SUV. Not a
Luxury SUV. So where do you get the info that your econo box is a
LUXURY SUV?

I have no clue what a Town and Country is. All I could think of is one of
those wood grain sided station wagons. I saw a Chevy Caprice wagon with
wood
grain sides a few years back. Definite competition for the Aztek as far as
wanting to gouge out my eyes.


I understand Benneteau hired the designer to work on the interior of it's
35s5 series!! :-)

Same wood grain veneer as the 1971 Caprice Wagon, You know I can see
the designers handy work on the 35s5.

41K SUV is an econobox? Sheesh! Let's hope not! The RX330 loaded is
also over 40K. The B9 has a nicer ride than the even the V8 Taureg,
better handling and a nicer interior space. The B9 targeted the BMW X5
and beat it in almost every key area, though the X5 is aging now.

I live where 4WD is a necessity. How come I have only seen one Tribeca ever?
Lots of Subarus, but no Tribecas.

Any theories on that one Bluster Boy?

Lots of Toyota Tundras too. With real traction.

Amen!

You are serious? How many BMW X5s do you see? I hardly see any..or
RX330's either. You sure know cars, Crantz! BTW, Subaru has been
selling 2000 B9s per month, so there are still very few around. Target
is 2500 per month, but the gas crunch slammed the whole SUV market.
Guess who had the best SUV sales? Subaru! Guess who had their most
profits ever due to the Tribeca and FXT? Subaru!

The Toyota Tundra is a great truck. I owned a 4-Runner and the Tacoma
for a while. Bullet proof, but no good for the family. Also: the B9 is
Suzanne's car. I drive the STI most of the time, which is the fastest
best handling car here by a wide margin. Just like my boat!

I do see them on a regular basis.

I see plenty. Also there's a RX300 in the family.

Actually, I don't follow the latest models.

It's a well made truck. They have had rotor and ball joint problems.

I owned a 4-Runner and the Tacoma


I had the supercharged 4 Runner and a Tacoma. The 4 cylinder Tacoma was
gutless compared to the older 4 cylinder trucks.

for a while. Bullet proof, but no good for the family.


4-Runner will do three nicely.

Also: the B9 is
Suzanne's car.


How much did you pay for that pig? (I'm talking about the car)

I drive the STI most of the time, which is the fastest

Why don't you just move out of NYC? Move someplace nice like Pennsylvania.

Best handling car? Where? On pavement? Sorry, there Robbie my BT-24 will
smoke it. Ask Ozone.

You missed the point again. They've sold 10's of thousands of Lexus and
BMWs. The B9 has only been out for a few months. Why would you expect
to see them?

Now I get it.

Why would you buy the first car of a production run. You know it has a
higher probability of a design defect. Why did you elect to be the crash
test dummy? Why not wait two years and get one?

Ya cudda had a nice Rav-4!

Amen!

My wife made me a rib eye, with porta something mushrooms, and
baked taters. It just doesn't get any better than that!
