Description: You'd think that in the automotive industry today, an automaker that doesn't offer a hybrid in its lineup wouldn't be doing too well. That's not at all the case when it comes to Su...Add Comments5
Stephen Tyler LearnJan 30, 2013 Also another issue is market share. Hybrids account for a very small part of the market and for a small company like Subaru or Mazda to make a hybrid they are going after a small slice of a small slice of the market. Aka no money will be made
Jason BrownJan 30, 2013 some patents from Ford and Toyota. You have no idea how the market is controlled by a few companies when it comes to Intellectual property rights.
Jason BrownJan 30, 2013 other companies to develop hybrid tech without violating their patents. Hyundai when they first came up with hybrid sonata, violated over 300 patents in 2009. Mostly held by US motor companies. Eventually they developed hybrid tech with licensing
Jason BrownJan 30, 2013 @Erich, you have no idea what you are talking about. It is difficult to develop Hybrid technology without violating Ford, GM and Toyota's patents. Each of those companies have hundreds of patents covering so many areas that makes it difficult for
Nick StiJan 29, 2013 Haha the WRX and STi definitely don't help the average.
Alex MedvedevFeb 01, 2013 Looks sick but side mirrors and rough edges ruin it
Steven WilsonJan 31, 2013 I hope the production version looks like this. I love the front end and aggressive looks. Beats the pants off a Prius.
Timothy HookerJan 30, 2013 I really like this look. Nothing wrong with overly aggressive concepts...it just means that the production will be somewhat aggressive
Omar HashJan 30, 2013 I'm getting quickly tired from sharp angles which are on practically all new cars today. Was it Audi or Lamborghini that started that trend?
Dave RainJan 30, 2013 Come on people. You already know it won't look anything like this.
Matthew MoellerJan 29, 2013 Is this the new ford fusion wagon?

Frankie FerreiraJan 30, 2013 Exactly. A 13hp electric motor can "easily" produce up to 100 torquehorsies
Sam HarrisJan 29, 2013 It's not the horse power that matters, its the amount of torque.
Omar HashJan 30, 2013 Typo below. "Do not see..." should be "DO YOU NOT SEE..."
Omar HashJan 30, 2013 NO, you fools. This is NOT good. This is gimmickry. Do not see the Audi tones hidden with sharp angles. Look at the front grill, look at the lights, Look all over! Those doors cannot opened inside parking garages.
This car is fraud. Designed by some young guy chinked high on weed.
Preston MingJan 29, 2013 their stock will go up in my book
Preston MingJan 29, 2013 outside of the doors..this is the baddest ass Subaru I've seen..AND it's a hybrid?!? take that Prius, Leaf, and anything other "My Little Pony" lunchbox on wheels out on the market..if this design would translate across their other lines...
Cian Mac GearailtJan 29, 2013 Yes lets make a practical wagon for families and make sure you will never be able to park next to other cars ever again
Ashton SummersJan 29, 2013 Hey, take a look at some cool doors that will never make it on the actual car.
