Don't think handling is necessarily "crisp for the class," and I don't think acceleration is necessarily lackluster--for the class. Do agree that pricing is too steep. Why exactly does the world need this vehicle?
Mark Bilek
Tribeca sports very "Subaru" interior and exterior styling, which make it stand out in a crowded midsize SUV marketplace. Good driving dynamics and a reasonable price make it a worthwhile purchase. However, the 3rd-row seat is almost useless and fuel economy needs to be better.
