Sorry I should have been more
Sorry I should have been more clear... they should have made a more rugged looking Crosstrek-like SUV on the same platform as the Ascent... the Tribeca wasn’t rugged but just ugly, had a terrible engine and rode horribly... people are attracted to the ruggedness of the brand (among other things)... the Ascent has nothing to distinguish it from the leaders like the Highlander, the Pilot, etc. In other words it’s just another boring SUV for boring people who can’t tell the difference between the styling of the Crosstrek vs The Ascent, e.g. see the reply from the lady above...
