2008 Motor Trend SUOTY Contender: Subaru Tribeca
 

Introduced just three years ago as the B9 Tribeca, this new iteration is completely reworked inside and out. While all the sheetmetal sans the roof has been changed, the most noticeable modification is at the front: The unique three-grille nose is replaced by a front fascia featuring a chrome "spread-wing" design many judges found less attractive than the original, with less personality. The other significant change is under the hood. Subaru has bumped displacement from 3.0 to 3.6 liters, adding six horsepower and a noticeable 32 pound-feet of torque, while switching from a premium-fueled motor to a 3.6-liter, 256-horse regular-fueled one.
