2008 Subaru Tribeca: Toeing the Line

For 2008, Subaru has significantly re-vamped its full-size Tribeca crossover SUV. The original Tribeca, released in 2005, was puzzlingly called the “B9 Tribeca” and featured what looked like an upside-down Alfa Romeo grille. For those of us with a sympathetic eye toward daring design, the car was fine the way it was. [...]

2008 Subaru Tribeca Video

In its third year of production, the 2008 Subaru Tribeca has come a long way from the original 2006 B9 Tribeca.

Performance-wise, the 5-speed [...]

2008 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Limited – A Wolf in Billy Goat’s Clothing

Starting this article is tough. There is no way to properly set my reader up for the surprise I experienced lately without sounding contrived or hucksterish. This experience came behind the wheel of Subaru’s Outback wagon, specifically the 243-hp 2.5 XT variant with the 2.5-liter turbocharged ‘boxer’ four and all-wheel-drive.

When I heard that [...]
