I LOVE the look! It's got lines that can rival the SLK! The fact that it's fwd is probably its biggest fault. It would outsell the EVO if it had AWD... stunning.

That does not look nice at all, but at least it has a bit more power.

i just dont like the taillights and the style Mitsu went with the grille on ALL their cars, especially the 04- Lancers and Monteros. RF system w/10 sub, 3.8L v6 6 speed- since the concept was built for this style, ive loved it. Wonder if a AWD would be available in the v6 6 speed. That car might only look good in certain colors also, we'll see later this year i guess. Just wait, this car will get played out like the PT cruiser and new mustangs.
Also- 5yr60k bumper to bumper and 10yr/100k powertrain. Even if mitsu goes under, they have to honor the warranty and its not looking like they are going anywhere anytime soon now. Mitsu sales have been climbing the last 5 months now and at a steady rate. Might also have to do with the finance incentives they are give out and end of year discounts.
