Is this a US/Canada market only Mitsubishi or will they be selling it in Japan and Europe also?

I wasn't impressed with the current GT V6 model when I test drove it a couple of years ago... :(

Yeah I actually just saw one on the way home from work and did not like it at all although the Black looks way better than that color.

I dont mind the look but the car has absolutly nothing making it special. No real power or performance to speak of.

In fact it's a very ugly car...
to me it looks like a bad imitation of Audi TT
or they wanted to make "the ugly" Nissan 350Z :?:

correction, the uglier Nissan 350Z.... :lol:

I don't get it. I doubt that the concept car from...like last year got any good design reviews anyway. They probably signed off the production design before the concept anyways...after the press response, they were probably like "oh fuck...we'll make it anyways." The new Mitsu cars all look ugly, except the Evo. Galant, Diamante, Outlander, and oh god...Endeavor and Raider...

I don't think it looks bad at all. In fact, it is almost like a evolution of the second generation Eclipse which was pretty good looking. The current one is definitely lacking in all departments.

But this one should be interesting. . . maybe they'll bring back out the GSX :).

3.8L V6 Motor at the front means it has one of the most horrible weight distribution of modern day sports car

the local Mitsu dealer here has had a few of them in. One was that burnt orange-ish color, which is odd. But recently they've had a silver one, which is a bit better. From the back I really like how it looks, but the front/side are still a bit odd to me :?
The power & torque figures impressed me, but you guys are probly right about it being too much for the front wheels to take. Maybe they'll go back to the turbo AWD days soon?

I'd call it a posers car rather then a sports car
