Yeah, they don't seem bad at all (although I'm sure resale sucks). If they can fit the Nissan parts (bumpers and such), then I would have definitely considered one. Could you get a factory locker like on the Pro-4x models?

Yeah, I agree. I mean, it still did well, but that guy was at like 30 degrees around a wide sweeper.

I mean, I guess they could be high too, haha.

I think it may actually have been a giveaway contest thing. I'm guessing whoever won just said "nah... you keep it."

It's surprising how much US prisons can differ. Many (I'd argue most) actively try to keep violence to a minimum, keep prisoners safe, and give them reasonably good leaving conditions. But there are some (like that nut in Arizona) who seem to take glee in pushing prisoners to the legal limit.

Haha, I think 99% of Tribeca buyers are soccer mom types who want a Subaru, but also want an SUV.

I like the look of them too, and to be honest I've never driven a V8. I'm just not a fan of Chrysler's build quality.

They're pretty dang cool. Those approach/departure angles are insane. Combined with how high it is and how small the wheel base is, I think it'd be nearly impossible to get stuck off roading.

The problem is the cars I'm usually interested in are the ones everyone else is also interested in. :(

I think it was a combination of the slightly high center of gravity, and sticky tires. I think they discussed making some rule after that about having to run stock tires on certain cars with a high CoG.

Yup, Colorado, haha. I did see a handful in Georgia too though. Of course, I think you can throw a rock and hit an F-150 anywhere in the US, those things sell like hot cakes and last forever.

Now that you mention it, I kind of am too. Didn't realize you could get that kind of deal for them, I just saw the MSRP on the website and thought it was a silly price for a Suzuki badged vehicle.

The one I saw (black) was in Lakewood, just driving up and down Union for some reason.

But they weren't $5k less... At least not MSRP, they were roughly equivalent. Maybe you could negotiate them down more at the dealership though?

I disagree (I think the Dakotas are shit too anyway). No offense if you like them, but I just despise them. I had a friend who had a brand new Raider, and sometimes while driving all of the electronics would just randomly go off (including the dash/gauges). Power was too low. Interior was poor quality.

Yeah, I'm in Colorado, the epicenter of Subaru culture.

They're supposedly really good off road, which explains their popularity here. But I never saw them in Georgia before I moved here.

I see them fairly often, but I don't know why anyone would buy one...

I saw one for sale at Costco once...

I don't think that counts, same platform as the Colorado/Canyon, and those are pretty common.
