Aren't all CUV's raised wagons then?  the Tiguan is just a raised Golf...  It's not just limited to Subaru...  I know they don't like wagons.  But I still consider cars like the VW Golf wagon, and the 3 series touring, as wagons, the rest like the Forester are CUV's.  Most of the distinction is ride height I guess...


Yeah I would say CUVs are wagons.   Guess I'm getting old.   I remember when SUVs first showed up as wagon bodies on truck chassises.  A wagon body on a car chassis is just a wagon.

I'd have to think it didn't sell because it was expensive compared to its competition and worse on gas than its competition, while having lower power output.  The H6 was great, but not a class leader for anything, really.

With that being said, I'd take the Tribeca's interior (5 seats) over the Forester's any day.  Not sure why Subaru's parts-bin approach to its model line-up couldn't have shared more from the Tribeca than the Impreza...
