Am I the only person who thinks that the grill of the Tribeca and its offshoots bring back memories of the Edsel grills of the late '50s?

I thought that too. The Edsel was supposed to reflect the airplanes of that time period also, just as the new nose is supposed to. I think a bra may help :)

Looks like at least in the cars you may have half a chance at upgrading the radio at least.

The new grill looks awful...the B9 looked bad IMO, and this is like they took its front instead of making a new one for the impreza. :confused:

It looks like its sucking on a lemon but the stats and the HP on the STI make me like it.

anyone know the drag coefficient? i kind of want to take a sword and slice off a bunch of stuff just sticking out and fill in some holes with a bunch of clay. it looks kind of upset or something, like the newer chevy trucks all fast and predatorial and ************. what about fuel economy? why not offer a front wheel drive with lsd- great traction, more efficient. why have a zillion horsepower?! no faster! i like a car slow enough to floor it all the time.

grill ugly, car great, they lowered the front scoop because in some;) states the scoop fails inspection.

does your dump valve recirculate the dumped air back into the intake pre turbo or to air,if to air that could be your problem as the ECU has already measured this air and has included fuel for it but as it is not going into the engine the engine is over fueling and the fuel is burning of once it hits hot exhaust and there is your back fire

I dunno. When I look at it, the first thing that comes to my mind is the center of the grill trapezoidal section where they mounted the logo.

 

For some reason my eye catches that section and I see a DAEWOO:

Funny thing, that was exactly what I was telling the local Subaru dealer when I took my Loyale in for some work. I don't need a Mario Andretti car.

i see a bastard child of an alfa and a bmw went to the families weird uncle out of shame...

I'm surprised I never posted in this thread.

 

I don't like the new grill. I haven't from the day I saw it, and I never will like it either.

 

I too agree it looks like an Edsel. That's my official nickname for them, the "Edsel" Subarus.

 

I see about 15 Imprezas and 20 Tribecas everyday, and I still don't like them. In fact, the Tribeca just looks uglier and uglier to me everytime I look at one.

 

I really, really, really, really, really, really, really hope Subaru doesn't bastardize their whole lineup with this grill.

We get the tribeca here in Australia, really soon. cant wait to see it.

That last shot of the STi on the first page with the front lip and aftermarket rims, we get those rims on a STi spec'd GT Liberty, which also gets suede seat inserts and roof, front lip, two twin exhaust mufflers, and ecu upgrade i think and front strut brace. also lowered suspension. i quite like them.

The wing grille looks better on the Impreza than it does on the Tribeca. I've never liked the front end of the Tribeca, but this freshened 2006 Impreza looks halfway decent. I think the 85-89 GL/GL-10 and the 95-99 Legacy were the nicest looking cars Subaru has ever made. All the extra exterior plastic makes the Outback, Forester, and various Impreza sports models look overdone in my opinion.

 

Not all the styling details and features shown on the Japanese models may be available in all other countries, probably most especially the US. The US models are always stripped down and more conservatively styled by comparison. Details like chrome placement on the grille, grille patterns, and specific light designs may vary from country to country.
