Honestly speaking though, the front end looks like a cross between a Chrysler grill and a Hyundai headlamp assembly... But Subaru's are good cars though. It just kind of a hit or miss with their styling for me. I like the Legacy and Forester designs but really wouldn't be able to live with an Impreza or Tribeca in my garage.
Wow it does look a lot like a Chrysler. I think the old one look vary cool.
Did Subaru drop the B9 from the name when I wasn't looking? I really hope so.
The only question left unanswered in this review is, "How was the bachelor party?" The only reason I know to road trip from Chicago to Windsor is to buck up an old pal before he ties a noose (ring) around his neck (finger).
Sam,
I don't know, to be honest, as I was only invited to the wedding.
I liked the review. But, the interior does remind me of another manufacturer - Acura. It appears as though Subaru benchmarked Acura for this interior.
The tribeca is a very good CUV. Buyers need to check it out before they purchase. I think the new look is an improvement and will appeal to more people. Will buyers think of the Tribeca when buying? That is where Subaru needs to step up to drive traffic to the showroom. Otherwise all the improvements will be in vain.
