This Subie won’t need to be handbroken around hairpin corners.
What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think stretch Limo? The 2010 Subaru Tribeca is the most obvious vehicle that didn’t think of. We are staring at the Tribeca’s miles-long wheels in gold and wondering how we got here. You can buy this car , but it’s even better.
If you happen to be in Kalkaska, a stretched Subaru will likely take up most of the lot at Nick’s Motor Sales. The big question is answered right away: yes, this Tribeca still has all-wheel drive despite having the rear axle in a different zip than the front. It’s a product by Executive Coach Builders. Other than the crazy decision that a Tribeca was used as a starting point, it is pretty much an ordinary-issue limousine inside. It has a large bench seat, lots and lots of wood trim, a bar, TV, and other standard-issue limo features.
What about the rest? The Tribeca 3.6R Limited is the model. It features a banging stereo and heated leather seats. A five-speed automatic shifts the power from the flat-six engine. This mill was originally rated at 256 horsepower back in the day. We suspect that every one of those horses, regardless of whether they are full or empty, is required to serve during the Tribeca’s growth spurt.
Subaru discontinued the Tribeca model in 2014 because it was not popular with SUV buyers. Nick’s Motor Sales has the 2010 model listed at $34,987. This is roughly what they sold back then brand-new. None of these models had enough seating to accommodate a large wedding party.
Only one question remains. We have one question. Nick’s dealership is just two hours from where we suspect the answer to this question could be found. This weekend, Subaru enthusiasts will gather at the Snodrift rally, the first event in the 2020 American Rally Association season.
