It's not exactly 'luxury' but Subaru has made some improvements (larger engine, more power, smoother transmission) to the 2008 B9 Tribeca. And I think they got rid of that awful grill. | |

I agree with Booyah...I drive a 2004 4-Runner and got rid of my all-seasons for all-terrains (Bridgestone Duler Revos) and that truck is unstoppable. I live on a dirt road and even covered in snow I never have a problem. I have the Sport Edition with the V8 and it is full-time 4-wheel drive. Even in a heavy rain its great to have, plus you have the option of 4-wheel low (not that I have ever had to use it). I think the Lexus GX is on the same platform.
