The company rolled out its all-electric G4e concept concept car in Tokyo, thought it was outshined handily by the new Impreza STI. The small hatch combines underfloor Li-on batteries with seating for five and a relatively meager 124-mile charge range. Sure, the designers got the spacial engineering right, but we get the feeling Soob's rally-spirit heart just isn't in this one.

And not only is this hatchback tiny, it's also big in both green and passenger seating — at least according to the press release from Subie. They claim this little four-door electric car will seat up to five passengers, go 120+ miles per charge and turn water into wine. That's right, it's the JesusHatch. We'll see it in person in just a couple of weeks at its official reveal at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show.
