Spying: Subaru 'Ascends' the Three-Row Crossover Mountain

As usual, Subaru makes a great looking concept and then completely ignores it.  So disappointing.

Interesting, how can they continue to ignor the excitement that is created from the concept.

Have to say very good camo.

Wonder why no Fender Flairs? That would like the concept give it more personality.

Gonna look like a Highlander......

It's a Forester that someone put on the photocopier and hit "Enlarge 150%"

Nahh, It is going to be enlarged Outback.  Probably same H6 engine and CVT transmission too.

The Pathfinder isn't too bad with one. I just had one on an 800 mile trip

I disagree. 

Subaru sales have doubled I think in the past 10 years.  They'll sell a bunch of these, because people want crossovers.  And how long have they been selling sedans and wagons to people that now have bigger families and need more space.  They used to lose those customers, now they can keep them

It will probably look boring, but they need a 3 row crossover badly, and not a disaster like the B9 Tribeca was.

The front end style looks like a ford.

Hard pass indeed...it is vehicles like this that will sell to the masses in droves that kill my enthusiasm for cars.
