A recent Subaru owner's survey revealed that the company is considering a 7-seater crossover for the US market.
In the survey, which was shared to Jalopnik with the owner, Subaru asks, "In thinking about the Subaru brand and the possibility of a 7 passenger vehicle being offered in the future, please rate how well you like these names for the new vehicle? [sic]." The survey then asks for a rating from 1-10 for seven potential names: Centauri, Cypress, Ascent, Meridian, Sojourn, and Columbia.
The car in question is likely a version of the recently launched Japan-market Crossover 7, based on a concept from the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show. That vehicle itself was based on a three-row Exiga wagon that's been on sale since 2008, but Outback-ified with a raised ride height and more durable body cladding.
The Crossover 7 is powered by Subaru's 2.5-liter boxer four mated with a continuously variable transmission. The company has hinted as early as 2013 that there'd be a three-row crossover launching as a 2016 model.
Subaru has not had a three-row, 7-seat vehicle in its lineup since the B9 Tribeca ended production in January 2014.

question for i-club parents...
Yeah, that just happened. 07 Burb LTZ 5.3L, fully loaded, 152k miles. got it for $15k, which is $3k less than book. I expect it to need some TLC, but its in great shape over all, especially the interior.

It's all going to come down to price for me (and the timeframe for deliveries to begin). A used Suburban is making a lot of sense aside from the horrid fuel economy.

The 4L60E transmissions will not last, but to rebuild one with better plates/clutches etc so that it's better than OEM is like $2400 including the labor, R&R etc. So yeah, I'm going to save myself a lot of money and take my chances.
Having owned the 2001 Silverado with the 4.8L and the same transmission... This one feels great, and shouldn't have any issues. Going to install a transmission cooler anyways though, cheap insurance.

LSx Engines do last forever. And they are cheap to replace if need be.
