"The all-new 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca is a step in a new direction for Subaru and brings versatility and agility to the traditional SUV market," said Kunio Ishigami, Chairman, president and CEO of Subaru of America, Inc. "The Subaru B9 Tribeca is the new flagship for the Subaru line-up and combines a bold new design with the trademark Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, and is our first seven passenger vehicle."

The Subaru B9 Tribeca takes the Subaru brand into a new market segment and is positioned above the current Subaru Legacy(R) and Outback(R) line of vehicles. The all-new progressive SUV is equipped with the legendary Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system and a powerful, 250 horsepower "Boxer" six- cylinder engine for quick acceleration. The all-new Subaru B9 Tribeca features an all-new design theme, delivering added style to the capability, safety and durability Subaru is so well-known for.

"The Subaru B9 Tribeca will shake up the staid SUV segment while delivering our tried and tested Symmetrical All-Wheel drive system with a dose of high style," said Fred Adcock, Executive Vice President, Subaru of America, Inc. "With its unique exterior design, bold high-tech interior and flexible seven passenger seating capability, the Subaru B9 Tribeca is more than just a new style of Subaru. It is a progressively designed SUV that combines the fun-to-drive handling, maneuverability and fuel efficiency found in Subaru sport wagons with the roominess and capability of an SUV."

The 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca will go on sale early summer of 2005, and will be built at the Subaru of Indiana Automotive plant in Lafayette, Indiana. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on this vehicle, visit http://www.subarub9tribeca.com/.
