Doesn't Subaru make some of the special car's with the B in the name, such as 22B ? I same to recall other's isn't there a B4 ?

305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).  CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

The 22B was different, but the B4 was also a Bilstein car IIRC. They also have the GT-B in non-America.

 

The 22B didn't have Bilstein's, but it did have an EJ22B. That was the classification of a closed-deck, 2.2L, DOHC motor. The USDM 2.2Turbo was classified the EJ22T, while others were the D and E. At least if my memory serves, that's the story behind it. I believe the suspension on the 22B was a set of STi branded coilovers (that may well have been built by Bilstein, as Subaru had a relationship with them at the time).

Was... They finally dropped the silly B9 nomenclature and left it at Tribeca once they realized how ridiculous it sounded.

 

I thought the B9 was a reference to the robot on Lost In Space, cause that's what the Tribeca looks like. lol.

It's actually the second spec sedan for subie... the first was SpecA... Soon they will come out with the C version for the 2010 model due to the amount of vehicle design copying they did. Like the Sonata tail lights and the lexus headlights....
