very interesting if we get the turbo ralliart version. it should make an awesome DD.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Only thing thats cool about the colt is that it used to be light. I bet this thing weighs a lot, and its super ugly.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Nice. I'll be in the market for a DD next Fall.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Count me out of that band-wagon, that thing is hideous

Oh boy, sign me up... http://mnscc.net/forum/images/smilies/drooling.gif

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

there is a ton of parts out there for it already and the ralliart one looks a ton better as a hatch. but they are alot bigger than Ali's hatch

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

If the ralliart is fairly quick it would be neat. I like ugly fast cars so why not.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Looks like a 4 door smart, gross. Are those 185 series tires? They look like donuts.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

I like it.

For a minivan, its not bad......... barf.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

I don't think they look THAT bad. If the US edition is awd, turbo, and lighter than the evo I can see them being pretty popular.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

+1 for the fundamentals, -5 for the body design department.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Ralliart doesn't look too bad

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

gald is coming back, but to back its ugly as heck.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

What do you mean "the ralliart version?" That was an internets blog and the writer was trying to "hint" to Mitsubitchy that it should make some version of that. But why in the world would they do that when it's competition is the smart, a similarly underpowered and over hyped minivan?

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Hmmmm. The 2 door looks better than the 4 door... but what is mitsu's new obsession to make everything look like an Evo from the front?

This is the 2010 Outlander.

TKR's link was from Ralliart Australia's web site. That doesn't mean they'll bring it here, tho.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

I don't know if you guys noticed, but Colts were always fugly. I like it. And yes, there is and has been a 1.5l turbocharged model. I think it would be awesome commuter for like ~16k

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

There area a heck of a lot of actual cool cars out there for a daily driver @ 16k.....

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

lol...thats what i thought too. lol. btw, nice video!

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

I'm with you ..I have always liked different looking cars...but we prolly wont get them here...

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

New cars? Like what?!?

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

That would be called corporate grills. It's the most retarded thing since allowing republicans in office.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

wow, yeah...still an ugly little shoe box.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Gross, I like old colt/mirage's but this is not doing it for me.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

I like the Ralli Art version.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

I think the older colts looked kinda cool. But this one looks aweful.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Sounds like they are redesigning the colt before bringing it here.... so hold your horses..

UPDATE: U.S. bound Mitsubishi Colt will be an all-new global small car

by Jonny Lieberman (RSS feed) on Dec 3rd 2009 at 3:20PM


Yesterday, we reported that Mitsubishi is bringing its small, B-segment Colt to our shores. And that's true, mostly. What we've learned between now and then is that Mitsu isn't bringing over the current Colt, but rather the replacement for the current Colt, i.e. the next Colt. In fact, Mitsubishi Motors Corp. President Osamu Masuko said as much during last month's Tokyo Motor Show. Here's what he told Automotive News:

"Mitsubishi will follow that with a global small car in 2012. That car will be smaller than the Colt, which is sold in Japan and Europe, and will have a 1.0- to 1.3-liter gasoline engine. A plug-in hybrid version and all-electric version of the global small car are scheduled for 2013. Mitsubishi is studying which of those would best suit the United States.

The scoop, then, is that this new global small car will be called Colt. As opposed to say, Havasu.

1,100 kilogram = 2,425.084 884 pound

According to the video.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

so in the end the US will be screwed just like always when they redo car and send them here with a much smaller engine

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Yeah, I was thinking a used Cooper S for a bit more than that. I doubt that the price point on that Ralliart would satisfy me.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Well maybe not new. Id never buy a brand new car though, unless I were loaded. A used TL or G35 would probably be my DD choice.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

Its a bummer. The US has kinda gotten hosed with small decent fast cars in the past so Im sure this wont be any exception. Escort Cosworth, Old Evos, ect.

It may be ugly, but if its fast and works good thats all I care about. I like having stuff that people get suprised by.

Re: The COLT returns to America!
 

same here...I have always had a love for ugly and weird cars...really is sad the us gets none of the good trim levels..then again i am not sure if I could own a pocket rocket like that id be toast if i got in a accident with anything large like an suv.
