What Subaru says... the press releases
June 9, 2006 "An overview
of the new features for the 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca model line includes
significant safety enhancements, ride comfort improvements to the suspension
system, new audio and entertainment upgrades, three new exterior colors
and a new grille treatment. A new Special Edition package consisting of
18” chrome alloy wheels, XM satellite radio package and chrome mesh wire
grille is now offered for all models and all color combinations."
December 17 2004 the name
changed "Upon receiving feedback from Subaru owners, potential customers,
and business partners on the name that was originally announced, the Subaru
B9X, Subaru has reconsidered and changed the name to B9 TRIBECA for the
all-new vehicle. We feel that the name B9 TRIBECA has a greater resonance
in the North American marketplace and will more effectively position the
car when it is launched next early summer. B9 of B9 TRIBECA denotes Subaru's
signature, horizontally-opposed Boxer engine and the 9 comes from
Subaru's product line-up category codes. Tribeca is a vibrant New York
City neighborhood with many distinctive boutiques, galleries, and restaurants,
where young artists work and cutting-edge trends are created that attract
worldwide attention. Its name is an abbreviation of Triangle Below Canal
Street (a triangle-shaped area south of Canal Street and north of Wall
Street in Manhattan)."

SUBARU PREVIEWS ALL-NEW SUBARU B9X CROSSOVER
UTILITY VEHICLE
Advance Look at All-New Design Theme And
First-ever Subaru With Seven Passenger Capability
MIAMI BEACH, FL– Subaru of America, Inc.,
today announced the name of its all-new crossover utility vehicle, the
Subaru B9X at the 2004 South Florida International Auto Show.
The all-new 2006 Subaru B9X is the first-ever
Subaru crossover utility vehicle with available seating for seven passengers.
“This is a significant milestone for Subaru,”
said Kunio Ishigami, Chairman, President and CEO of Subaru of America,
Inc. “The Subaru B9X combines a bold new design with the trademark Subaru
Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, and is our first seven passenger vehicle.”
The world premiere for the Subaru B9X will
occur at the Detroit Auto Show and represents a step into a new market
for Subaru. The Subaru B9X is equipped with the legendary Subaru Symmetrical
All-Wheel Drive system and features an all-new design theme, delivering
added style to the capability, safety and durability Subaru is so well-known
for.
“It is no coincidence that we are here
in Miami, a market well-known for it’s trend setting style, with an all-new
Subaru,” said Fred Adcock, Executive Vice President, Subaru of America,
Inc.
“This vehicle represents more than just
a new style of Subaru. With its fun-to-drive handling and interior flexibility,
this is also a Subaru that will appeal to a larger audience. The new B9X
is the logical step for a current Legacy or Outback owner looking to move
up in size, flexibility, feature content and refinement.”
The broad appeal of the Subaru B9X, like
that of the recently redesigned 2005 Subaru Outback and Legacy, expands
the Subaru product line with a vehicle that is larger than the Outback.
Combined with superior ride and handling
for the segment, the Subaru B9X will also appeal to customers looking for
greater cargo capacity, expanding the Subaru brand’s appeal to a new group
of customers.
A Bold New Look and Bold New Name
There are three key elements to the new
design found on the Subaru B9X. One of the key focal points of the all-new
2006 Subaru B9X is the bold new grille and fascia design. A central air
intake is flanked by two “wings” that relate directly to the history of
Subaru as an aircraft manufacturer – illustrating the Subaru commitment
to engineering excellence.
Also prominent in the new design is a
curved roof line that expresses a sense of dynamic motion.
Finally, powerful fender and wheel forms
create the feeling of agility and driving performance.

The Subaru B9X design theme first appeared
on the 2003 Geneva Show Car, the Subaru B11S, and was further refined on
the Subaru B9SC and R1e concept cars, which both made their U.S. debut
at the 2004 North American International Auto Show. As a model which has
inherited this design theme, Subaru has named this vehicle the B9X.
The 2006 Subaru B9X will be built at the
Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant in Lafayette, Indiana.
