Subaru B5-TPH Concept
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 liter 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.

October 25, 2005 @ 9:19 pm
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
October 26, 2005 @ 12:07 am
The front is quite tolerable… but the back? Bad show la! Damn ugly backside sialllll!!
October 26, 2005 @ 9:42 am
No comment.very nice!!!!
October 27, 2005 @ 1:31 am
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
October 27, 2005 @ 9:48 am
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.

November 3, 2005 @ 5:10 pm
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!!!!
November 9, 2005 @ 1:18 am
Subaru should continue producing the impreza and staying in the rally competition otherwise bankruptcy is inevitable
Stop designing losers you just cant do it !!!

[...] Subaru will be changing the all too familiar sedan shape of it’s rally-inspired Subaru Impreza car to a hatchback form when it’s next incarnation is introduced in 2008. We’ve kind of known this was going to happen when Subaru showed us the Subaru B5-TPH Concept at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. [...]

January 28, 2007 @ 4:47 am
[...] to be ready for unveiling until 2008. The 5-door hatch design is expected to be similiar to the Subaru B5-TPH Concept shown [...]
