Who has two thumbs and isn't surprised?

This guy.

After selling 78,000 of the Tribeca, the weird looking three-row crossover, Subaru has announced that it will deliver its last Tribecas to dealers in February 2014. They also said they'll "return to the mid-size SUV segment with a three-row vehicle in the future." Hopefully it's better looking next time.

Everyone with any car sense saw this coming.
But honestly, only the first gen (2006-2007) was "weird looking."
The second gen (2008+) looked, well, like every other mid-size CUV in the market.
But I understand why it never got any traction. There was just nothing compelling about it.
It was a small, middle of the road, player in a very competitive class.

^^^ Yep, very competitive. People are/were drawn to Subaru for their AWD cars... a true "SUV" really isn't their demographic.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

My first thought actually was, "They still make the Tribeca?"

Need more H-6 turbo setups.
