Subaru is planning on moving up a notch or two for the 2006 model year with the introduction of its seven-passenger upscale wagon.

Updated, but based on the WX-01 Concept from the Tokyo Motor Show, this vehicle will be the first in the lineup to carry Subaru's new signature styling grille, as first seen on the B9SC Roadster Concept.

Developed under the codenames SG/X and 00X, the premium wagon has already hit the consumer clinics in southern California , and has received positive feedback.

Subaru insiders have commented about the vehicle's very versatile and highly flexible interior, and it's believed that the second and third rows of seats will fold flat to accommodate cargo, as well as flexible seating configurations. More accurately, insiders have been referring to this as a 5+2 passenger configuration.

The SG/X will be built in Lafayette, Ind. , and should start running off the assembly line in just a year from now. Sources tell us the SG/X will measure in at about 195 inches overall, with a 108-inch wheelbase. Power is expected to come from Subaru's 3.0-liter H6 boxer engine, and, of course, it will be all-wheel drive.

Although there have been several names under consideration, the name Tribeca is leading the way and has already gone through the registration process to formalize the selection.

The new SG/X will likely start in the low-to-mid $30,000 range with an estimated production of up to 40,000 units annually.

The Subaru Tribeca will be followed by Saab's version built on the same platform, and also to built in Lafayette
