Gay or straight, there's no way anybody would consider this quasi-mini van edgy. And, not to stereotype, but why would same-sex couples need a 7-seater? I mean, I know they can adopt, and the Vermont ladies can visit the sperm bank for some cream-of-some-young-guy, but come on, I don't see this category trying to overpopulate the world in some sort of gay conquest through greater numbers- "We're here! We're queer! And so are all our kids!"

Also, I think that gay men would find the flying vag front of the scoobie-doo subaru off-putting. The ladies may want to "scissor" it.

So big, you can go anonymously cruising in the third row.

someone wanna tell me what happened to my image insert?

@graverobber- Same great taste, new low price!: I enjoyed this comment greatly.

@Ash78: But will it be easier to clean than a VW Cabrio?

I don't want to start a discussion, but...

In response to graverobber...We may not have kids to haul around, but those boxes from Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel take up a lot of room.

Two words: Golden Retrievers.

Had I seen that commercial "before" leasing a Tribeca, I would have went with the 4Runner. I have no problem with the original grill (Volvo designer) except it has killed a few deer already.
The AWD is superb (none best Subaru's...none) and it handles very well. But MPG is 18-21 (19avg). It took 300miles of highway to actually see the computer show 24mpg.
Whomever designed the LCD fuel guage never heard of polarized sunglasses. And the sunroof will wash out the display.
11 months left. Poor Subaru. Death by marketing.

I chuckle every time I see a Tribeca on the road. It is one ugly automobile, especially the grill. I just don't know what possesses car companies to come out with designs like these. I can only imagine they are trying to duplicate the unexpected success of the Scion XB shoebox or something.

It is a fact that in the "gay community" (I hate that)a Subaru of any sort means LESBIAN. So as long as those same sex couples are gals, but no respecting gay man would be caught dead in a Subaru.
This just in - Ellen and Portia have named the Subaru Tribeca the official SUV of their pending nuptials!

Although not a great fan, I think the original Tribeca looks much better than the redesigned one..

@lascauxcaveman: And the light goes on. Thanks for that. I was also thinking "antiquing".

@graverobber- Same great taste, new low price!: I thought that was only middle-aged straight couples from the Berkshires? Don't tell me people actually still go antiquing? And I believed it was just a myth drummed up by the Nissan Murano's marketing team.

I like how it says opposites attract. Are two gay dudes the same?
At least now when I call a car gay it will be politically correct.

It's funny how they seem to go out of their way to not show the front of it in that commercial. I bet they were cringing when the VP said "Ok, guys I want at least one full 360 shot." "But siiiiir..." "NO EXCUSES!"

I will give the Tribeca this: When you glance in your rear view mirror, it looks like nothing else; you know at once what it is, even from a distance.
Did Subaru learn nothing from the Edsel anatomy lesson?!

The original grille was definitely FUGLY, but i literally cannot distinguish the new car in traffic
from half a dozen other SUVs..... But gay people ALWAYS need the extra space...
how else do you bring home the couch and kitchen from IKEA? DUH!

I thought the front end of the original Tribeca was pretty cool. Thankfully not generic modern car, 4 trapezoid, hole in the face looking. It was the lumpy, bumpy, oddly proportioned, sort of '59 Chevy-ish ass end that was the big offense for me.

Over the years lots of people have sketched, and now Photoshopped, various"what if" cars. Thanks to Subaru, we have a real life "what-if" car. What if Edsel had survived into the 21st century and started building SUV's.
