Subaru’s B5-TPH concept was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show 2005. Subaru calls it a blend of the characteristics of a sports wagon, a coupe and an SUV. They could technically call it a shooting brake if they wanted to, like Audi’s Shooting Brake Concept.
Production plans for the Subaru B5-TPH is unknown but Subaru plans to use some of the technologies gained from research in production vehicles in 2007. The TPH in it’s name stands or Turbo Parallel Hybrid. This particular system mates the usual turbocharged 2.0 litre 4 cylinder boxer that’s Subaru is famous for with a thin 13 horsepower motor between the engine and the transmission. This motor boosts torque at low engine speeds.
Frankly I just can’t get used to the new Subaru styling yet.

YAU MO KAU…..CHOU!!!! Show car should be looks special and awesome not like this…..!! Shit!!
If I was the WRX, I would ram myself agaist my new sibling.
Well, i really dun mind driving one of this…really.
Nice
Kinda funny-looking. The front is pseudo-80's-futuristic while the back is all out retro.. Doesnt really match.. Surely not ugly, tho its no beauty either. Unique and original
The front is quite tolerable… but the back? Bad show la! Damn ugly backside sialllll!!
No comment.very nice!!!!
you know why those look nasty….subby and saab had a "joint operating agreement" until they broke it off earlier this year…have you seen the new WRX STi ? looks a lot like like the new Saab 93
This car look odd in picture. But if anyone of us got a chance to stand in front this car ,u 'll be impressed by the design elements. You won't be able to close you mouth. The rear and side look fine to me. The only nasty part is the front.
Saabbaru? (Saab + Subaru)
ugly? wa ha ha ha ha ha ha ……. not sure bout the interior … but the outlook damm chun!!
i have to agree wif you EX-Mivec from the back its look like a giant pig face…but then again the froont oklah futuristic make me wanna buy..
its like nice bust bad bum….
I was taken aback with the BACK… front so stylist.. the back argh!
Subaru should not try too hard on creating future cars,but i must say that i love the WRX Impreza STI it is very breath taking.Kep it up!!!!
Subaru should continue producing the impreza and staying in the rally competition otherwise bankruptcy is inevitable
Stop designing losers you just cant do it !!!
looks like my shoe…
YUCK!!! Puke, puke, puke, and more puke…
here comes a new style… exhaust in front
man…wots with the new exhaust design la???…the new evo, civic type R & now the new imprezas all gonna be with 2 tailpipes???
ya, very ugly. very unsubaruish! Impreza is a rally car, not a piece of poo GM wannabe futuristic crap car.
