This morning I looked at an interesting item I picked up at the Kingston Whig Web site. The ”Wheels” auto supplement feature by Malcom Gunn of Wheelbase Communications featuring the 2008 Subaru Tribeca. This is a great looking car and you can get all the details at:

So I wondered off to my RIV Lists 
Just recently on Nov. 26th Transport Canada declared several Subaru Models inadmissible but they seemed to have let the Tribeca off the hook, it is admissible. Please be advised that given the tendency for major “flip-flops”, that I would probably get it in writing first directly from TC before I ventured further, and have it notarized!
Going over to the
| Tribeca 5 Passenger | $41,995 | Tribeca 5-Passenger | $29,995 | 41.64% |
This is what I found a 41.64% difference?? for the base model!
I went to the Subaru.ca web site and tied to build the model and re-check the price. This price in Canada appears to before taxes and prep. I checked at Subaru.com and again found the base price to be $29,995 U.S. I think it was before only a $600 charge for prep I am not sure. Wow !
Now, before running out and going south and skipping your breakfast…. Please please take my advice. I would strongly advise you to do your own research on this one, I suggest you get quotes from your Canadian dealer and quotes from the folks south of the border! (since the word is out about us Canadians - don’t tell the U.S. dealer you are Canadian - until you have to ) .
Then If I could get this in writing from the TC, I would jump on it right away, before somebody wakes up and it also winds up onthe inadmissible! Please don’t hold this against me if you get “Flip-Flopped” by the folks at Transport Canada.
Please note the RIV listing is as of our inquiry this Morning at 6:22 A.M. and of course we all know is subject to Change by Lawrence Cannon.
