Probably More Useless

It would be sweet if they would bring back the 2g/1g =/

Mitsu needs a real sports car. A grand tourer (what the 3/S was) would be nice too.

It seems like in the late 90's all the grand tourers dissapeared, was there a reason for it?

Those pictures are crap. They don't do it justice at all

The hood is shorter as seen, but without the "Transformers" style bumps on the hood. Everything is VERY smooth. They went back to the tear drop "cab forward" design from the 2g. The rear end is going to be much higher than the 3g as shown, but very smooth. The B pillar will hold the mirrors on the doors, and the C pillar and rear side window will look VERY remenisant of the 2g. Like I said above, these are just spy photos of bare bones prototypes of the car. The car is to look exactly like the E Concept.

I guess they weren't meeting emissions over in Japan. Once the Gentlemen's Agreement expires in 2006 expect some new super cars to be coming out.

The EVO MR does not have a new turbo, it is the same 16G.  They are getting more power by upping the boost to a peak of 20.x.
Wrong the turbo nozzle was made bigger and the wastegate flapper is now an oval. I don't think that gives it much of a power gain though, but it is different. Yes, they did raise the boost too for the 5hp power gain (probably under rated).

In a magazine the MR and Sti made the same hp!

Yeah I knew that much, but it hardly makes it a new turbo...just an updated design using the same wheels.

Sales lacked big time becuase everyone bought "practical" SUV's.

And all the companies started pricing them way too high. Once the Supra and 3kGT got more expensive than a 'Vette it was all over.
