They removed the B9 from it's name and gave it a decent face lift!!

Some dude in the comments of autoblog did a quick photoshop of the front end with the new lights and revised old grille.

I like it!

These xover SUVs all look the same to me. Big bulky shoes that kids wear when they're growing.

There's not one that actually looks like it's fun to drive, except the 05/06 Forester. Maybe the 06 Acura MDX. Maybe.

They'll definitely sell more. :roll:

I was hoping to see this at the NY Auto Show for the 1st time, oh well.

I would say the turbocharged Mazda CX-7 would be one. One of my co-workers just picked one up, and he says it is very fun to drive.

ya know how bmw's are instantly recognizable because they've stuck with the same simple and reasonably attractive front end for 30 years? subaru should try that.

BMW's have the luxury of being defined as high end rich people cars, so naturally people want them. They dont have to change in order to get a bigger market share cause they already have one.

That new tribeca isn't ugly, but its not pretty. It looks like any Ford/forester/mazda/whatever. Its boring but thats what sells to the soccer moms

it's not as good as the RDX though. I took both for a comparo spin one weekend. I like the RDX. More refined, and the variable turbo is almost like a supercharger.

It could easily pass as the Ford Edge. Even the wheels looks similar.
