Subaru B5-TPH Show Car: Was GM Too Hasty in Dropping Subaru?

GM is in the process of ridding itself of ties with Subaru. Until recently, GM was drawing that Japanese car maker further in its fold; with plans to have Subaru supply a 3 row SUV to Saab.

To generate cash and save cash, GM sold its Subie stake, receiving much less than its $1 Billion investment.

Here's the first sign that that sale was too hasty. Subaru, with its comparatively limited research & development budget, showed off its "turbo parallel hybrid" Subaru B5-TPH. This thing is brisling with innovative technology, and it was likely put together on a fraction of what it would cost the General to make a similar car.
