The Tribeca? THE TRIBECA??? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img] This thing is Aztec-ugly! There's other vehciles in the segment, why are people lining up for this thing? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

 

I don't get it either. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

 

Also gets a nomination in the "Stupidest Name" catagory. Come on, I've never heard anoyone ever call it by its full name, the 'B9 Tribeca', except the stupid guy in the commercials.

 

I don't think its ugly, just ... different.

 

My family has had 5 subarus. while the tribeca certainly isn't the most attractive it has a great AWD system.

Well, count me in the "I think its really ugly" category.

But, there are people who think a Mustang is ugly too ... Each has their own tastes, and it'll no doubt appeal to certain people. If its enough to make them money, I guess time will tell.

 

imo, its a very unattractive vehicle, but i do luv the interior. i have yet to see one of these on the roads. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif[/img]

 

Think of it as the Porsche Cayenne's homlier, dowdier sister.

 

ew.

BTW- Stupidest name goes to the "sorrento" Which is a brand of Cheese.

 

hey! somebody do a chop of a DB9 Tribeca!!

I think you mean "Sargento" (at least that's a brand of cheese we have here).

EDIT: You're right! There is a Sorrento Cheese. But, it's also the name of a town in southern Italy, which is probably where Kia got the name.

 

Yea Sorrento- they make Ricotta cheese.

WTF is it with ugly cars and people who will actually buy em?

Buick Rendzevous is another fugly car-
And Vibes-
And Cobalts(plastic pieces of crap! we rented one, it was like driving a go cart)
And the asssszzzztek gets the prize.

 

This thread is in danger of spinning wildly off-topic, but another dumb name is the Mitubishi Galant. What is a Galant?

"In music, Galant was a term referring to a style, principally occurring in the third quarter of the 18th century, which featured a return to classical simplicity after the complexity of the late Baroque era. This meant (in some implementations) simpler music, with less ornamentation, decreased use of polyphony (with increased importance on the melody), musical phrases of regular length, a reduced harmonic vocabulary (principally emphasizing tonic and dominant), and a less important bass line."

So the car really embodies the true meaning of the definition, right?
