The Sabura Tribeca is a whale!

The Toyota Tundra outhandles it!

From Edmunds.com:

Driving Impressions:
Even with the Tribeca's substantial weight of 4,200-plus
pounds, it's never
at a loss for power. There's plenty of midrange muscle, and the
Subie easily
tackles varying road terrain. Subaru automatics have a tendency
to hunt for
gears during mountainous driving, but this is not the case in
the Tribeca,
as its reprogrammed transmission holds low gears when needed
without early
upshifts. Steering, however, is a bit light for a vehicle of
such girth,
which accentuates the Tribeca's heft. On the road, the 2006
Subaru B9
Tribeca drives like a big, heavy truck.

Drives like a big, heavy truck!!!!

Big heavy truck!!!!

What a boulevard car!!!!

aaahaahahahahahahahaaahahahahahahahahahaaa!!!!!!!! !

Even the Lincoln is better!!!!!

aaahaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa!!!!! !

Glory!

Next BS will be telling us that the Tribeca is a sports car
rather than the
bloated Boulevard SUV it is!!

aaaahaahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did Booby say about it's handling? He sure knows cars!!

Steers like a Toyota Tundra!!!

15 mpg!!! Same gas mileage as a Toyota Tundra!!!!

Why would you buy the first car of a production run. You know it has a
higher probability of a design defect.


I keep suspecting with each post that you know less and less about
cars. The B9 is using a poven engine and a tweaked Outback platform. In
fact, it's just an Outback VDC model with a lot more luxury thrown in.
It's a proven car, except that it scored even higher on crash tests
than even Subaru thought it would, beating all others. It's only real
failing is that it needs more torque, though at highway speeds power is
good. These are not American cars. They tend to work and keep working.
We plan to trade the B9 in for a newer faster version when released in
about 18 months. For now it's one safe and comfy cruiser and I've
driven everything from the H3 to the Lexus RX330. Even though the
reliability is bad, I like the layout of the H3 BTW. We have nearly 9K
on the B9 and it's required no service of any kind.

Here's our B9 with an Icon theatre system. 3 screens, two DVDs and we
bailed on the NAV because I wanted a portable for the STI as well.

We already own several lots in the Pocono's where my father lives.
Here's my old man next to his FXT Turbo. 0-60 in 5.2 seconds! The
property behind him goes on and on and will go to Thomas one day.

It's a proven car,

Law of converse accident = The sum of the parts is not the whole. The
components individually may be very good, but the aggregate system is not
field tested very much.

The Outback platform is widened and stretched for the B9. It uses different
tooling, the loading is different, the manufacturing line is different. It
will not be the same as the Outback. So, is the suspension the same? How are
the strut towers made stronger to handle the bigger load? Thicker metal? An
annealing process? Higher kips yield steel? If it is just made bigger, than
it is weaker.

Do you think that if Subaru engineers took the attitude that the car as it
is now is done and perfect (from a zero defect both engineering and
manufacturing standpoint), then Subaru would continue to make great cars?
It's ok you believe it because you buy the car.

You're right. It exceeded their target for crash tests and owners are
reporting virtually no problems. Every problem that has been reported
on the subie boards was common to the outback VDC 2.5 model as well.
So you've been proven wrong yet again.
