If they:
1-redesigned the front of the tribeca
2-put a turbo on the H6
3-added all STi parts (would even take that color)
I would definitely buy a Tribeca STi model.

what a waste of engineering... first... that thing looks way too top-heavy... second... WHY on earth does it need that many angles? can you imagine what body-work on that thing would cost if you dinged a fender? you are almost garunteed to hit a body-line somehwere. the next thought that comes to me is...
ok i know its just a concept ...but for the sake of bitching about chevy which i enjoy doing... well here ill just go to the list
1. Looks Top heavy
2. Teeny Wheel base
3. too MANY body lines
4. Holy blind spots
5. lol... 190hp FWD "muscle car"?
6. wing like that definetly not needed
7. did i mention blind spots?
8. the rear fender flairs are disgusting
9. what's the point of all that crap on the front lip? i know downforce is important.... but you dont need all those extra fancy little angles and doodads
10. it looks like a mini-suv
11. ITS A CHEVY
basically this car makes me disugsted and if i ever saw "this baby rapidly growing in my rearview mirror!" id probably slam my brakes and let him slam into my rear end because the 17 year old driving it will most undoubetdly be under the impression that he is currently on his way to breaking the sound barrier with his "hot new ride"
EDIT: oh and to comment on what sirwilliam said... i gotta agree with you on that. granted it might not be my first choice for a vehicle. but i can imagine a tribeca STi being pretty sexy

I don't think it's THAT bad... The wing is retarded though. The reason that they need all that down force on the front is because the rear wing is lifting the front up.... on a FWD car!
STI Tribeca FTW!!1!!!1!!!

yeah for the last time america... a FWD car doesnt need THAT much rear downforce..
anyways yeah its not the font lip that bugs me... it's the fact that it looks like a cow catcher
and am i missing something? from what i could gather from the article it has a 2.0 diesel.. that looks like a FMIC on there unless im mistaken... and was i correct in reading it only can muster 190hp? my RS could make that with only a few tweaks

I gotta say that the 10 speed looking shifter lever is just bizarre..

At least in terms of looks, might I remind you all that the Seat Altea won lots of praise in Europe.

^^^^ That actually doesn't look bad to me 
It would be easy as hell to wax, that is for sure!
