I don't think it will happen. Mitsubishi doesn't have the money to maitain their current line up let alone bring out something new. I saw pictures of this car in a recent issue of GQ and if I recall correctly it was a 400+hp hybrid of some sort.

hmmm, I don't think its all that bad...but then I thought it had a V6 AND Electric motor, and was AWD...from the one engine bay photo, it not only looks cramed but I only see 4 runners on the intake manifold

Well, the car doesn't LOOK bad in my opinion...pretty futuristic, which is cool, but doesn't it also weigh like 4000lbs...I'm mean come on, if you have a sports car...why make the damn thing 4000+ LBS!!!!

Hello Mitsubishi, did you think you were making a truck instead, then change your mind, keep the same truck chasis and put a car body on it?

A car like that would probably save Mitsu's tail somewhat, but I think they have much more pressing issues to take care of before they can think about putting out a car like that.

I think it looks good, about the best looking thing Mitsu has ever come up with.

good job mitsu..nothing like another bad car and the sales to match to add to the billions of dollars of debt you are in...good thing DC AG dumped them or they would have dragged down that company too if they keep pumping out cars that look like melting ice cream
