For all of you that did not know that subaru has been developing a new "Turbo Parallel Hybrid(TPH) Power System" for the new concept "B5". What this means is a 256 hp engine with 253 ft-lb of torque with great gas miles. Subaru is claiming that the b5 will make 40 mpg on daily driving. This is a hugh step for subaru to get in this market. I think when they start making some after market electric motors for these cars they will be super fast.
