2005 Suzuki Moms Personal Wagon Concept
Based on the Suzuki MR Wagon, Suzuki introduced Mom’s Personal Wagon, a concept designed specifically for young mothers transporting small children. The focus is not rugged materials, but smart usability, comfort, and easy access in a compact city vehicle. Despite its mini-vehicle size, the concept offers impressive interior space. The cabin uses a calm brown-and-beige color scheme and a clean, minimalist dashboard to create a relaxed feel. Practical storage is built in throu


2005 Suzuki LC (Life Creator) Concept
Suzuki LC is a playful, modern reimagining of Suzuki’s first production car, the Suzuki Suzulight from 1955. This tiny two-seat concept stretches just 10.5 feet long and is designed purely for charm, simplicity, and city driving—especially on crowded streets like Tokyo. The LC leans heavily into retro design. Its round headlights, tiny windows, circular mirrors, and plaid seat upholstery are meant to spark nostalgia and emotion rather than make a performance statement. The mi


2005 Suzuki Ionis Concept
Suzuki Ionis is a futuristic fuel-cell minicar that focuses on advanced technology, flexible design, and efficient use of space. From the outside, its smooth, flowing curves are meant to resemble water, reinforced by a deep blue paint finish. The compact, one-box shape hides a smart platform that places the fuel-cell system beneath the cabin floor, keeping the interior open and uncluttered. Despite its small size, the Ionis is packed with high-tech features. It uses by-wire t

The Concept-X2 follows Suzuki’s new “Way of Life” (also called “Lifestyle”) philosophy, aimed at energetic, adventure-focused drivers who want real capability without giving up comfort or style.

The Concept-X features a bold, wedge-shaped design with a muscular stance. Large 20-inch asymmetrical alloy wheels, fl


2005 Subaru B5-TPH Concept
The Subaru B5-TPH is a sleek coupe-wagon-crossover concept that Subaru made clear is not the next Subaru Impreza. While Subaru positioned the car as a technology showcase rather than a design statement, the B5-TPH ended up being one of the brand’s best-looking concepts in years. It sits on a modified Subaru Legacy platform and pairs sharp styling with raised ride height and all-wheel drive. The real focus is Subaru’s Turbo Parallel Hybrid (TPH) system, which combines a turboc


2005 Stola S86 Diamante
Stola S86 Diamante debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 2005 and marked a late-career effort from designer Marcello Gandini. By that point, Gandini’s most influential work was behind him, and the S86 reflected the constraints of a rushed timeline—the project was approved just five weeks before the show. The non-running concept featured an interior that felt more finished and refined than its exterior, underscoring the limited development time rather than a fully realized desig

2005 Smart Crosstown Concept
At the Frankfurt Motor Show, Smart unveiled the Smart Crosstown, a bold show car that explores how far the smart fortwo platform can be pushed. While the Crosstown clearly shares DNA with the Fortwo, it brings a tougher stance and more adventurous personality.

Its Tridion safety cell is finished in a titanium-style color, contrasted by metal


2005 Skoda Yeti Roadster Concept
For years, Škoda pushed for more design freedom but was held back by conservative oversight from Volkswagen Group. Small budgets and weak early concepts slowed progress. That changed at the Geneva Motor Show, where Škoda revealed the Škoda Yeti—a compact crossover with a bold, memorable front end that clearly set it apart and signaled a new design direction. Škoda expanded the idea with an open-top Yeti concept, refining details while keeping the core styling intact. Develope
