Subaru to unveil the 7-seater at Paris show?
Quote:
By the way, there are a couple of new Spy Shot images in an new update at that "Car Connection" website: http://www.thecarconnection.com/inde...&sid=178&n=158 There is a little less camo on it this time, and the rear end is a lot clearer.

Maybe the Halifax/Tribeca is a surprise exhibit tomorrow (keeping fingers crossed)?

If you re-read the quote you posted from the Car Connection, it seems clear that the Subaru spy-shots and the Paris Motor Show coverage are two separate and unrelated stories in the current edition of their e-zine. |

BTW, Subaru has a web page devoted to the Paris show at http://www.subaru-global.com/topics/...ris/index.html. It's probably too much to hope for an online video of Mr. Wada's address at the press conference tomorrow, but I do expect that pictures of Subaru's display at Paris will show up there eventually.

This suggests (to me) that the Halifax won't be a US-only vehicle. |

NAIAS is where the unveiling likely will be.
Unfortunately I see this 7-pax as a flop. If they keep it set with its 35-40 k price range it will unfortunately fail. Typical Subaru. Great idea, poor execution. Make it 30k and it will sell thousands. |

The Car Connection article starts out calling it "the $40,000 Subaru" but much further down says "The new SG/X will likely start in the low-to-mid $30,000 range with an estimated production of up to 40,000 units annually." Hopefully the 40k is for the fully loaded version only. At around 32k it might have a chance. (but the price is all speculation anyway)

^^ methinks brandon was being sarcastic.
Note btw that the top-end Outbacks are in the low 30s and still sell, although not in huge numbers. I suspect those models might be dropped once this new thing comes out. |

I don't, there are still people (like me) that refuse to drive "mini vans" which is all I see this tribecca as being.
Call it what ya want, looks like a soccormom mobile to me. The upside to that is most soccormoms don't give a crap about what their cars look like, they look more into features and saftey ratings. Which given subaru's saftey history, and awd, and the rumor of the completely configurable interior with fold flat seats etc, make this veichle very well targeted. |
