![]() Anyone subscribe to Automotive News? There's an article in today's (I think it's today's) issue on the new 'Beca—but I can't access it because I'm not a subscriber.

![]() Sound like the 3.6 is across the board, not just an option or on higher-end B9s ...

![]() I hadn't heard about the rear end getting redone. It will be interesting to see if they recycle more rear style from the 9-6.

![]() The Euro-beca already has 3rd row access from both sides of the vehicle rather than curb side as the US one has.

![]() ![]() I've been informed by well-placed sources that the new Tribeca will more closely resemble the cancelled Saab version, especially in how the front-end is arranged. Notice the on-top headlights of the Tribeca have been replaced with more of a typical on-front headlight layout on the Saab version? ![]() Now, imagine those images with a grille and healights similar to that of the '08 Outback and I think we can picture how the '08 Tribeca looks from the front. Photoshoppers, I'd love to see one of you mock this up... ![]() From the rear, I'd imagine full third row windows rather than the wedge thing current SUVs seem to be all over including the current Tribeca and Murano so there is less of a blind spot. This image isn't totally representative, but I'd iimagine its smoother creaseless appearance would probably carry over to the ''08. |

Ive heard the saab comparison also. Reason was someone decided it looked better and the stamping dies were already manufactuered (tons of money for those). Im not sure the front bumper cover will look like the saab though because that has nothing to do with stamping dies. |

![]() Subaru won't change the price of the B-9 Tribeca. But Ishigami hinted that Subaru may put more standard equipment on the crossover.
Any ideas about this? Good news. Can't wait to see the engine #s. |

![]() There are far too many standard features on a Tribeca to offer one for under $30k...
