That is sick.

Hughes, sell that X and start saving

Speedfreak · 01-06-2014

Yup, and with GM and others working with Google to bring Android to cars.. it should get pretty interesting.

The X is paid-off, I'll continue saving while driving it! I feel 2015 will be the year I buy a new car. GM made their move, your turn Mitsu... That telemetry overlay is cool as hell, the Corvette engineers are doing some awesome things at that price point!

**Goat Blower** · 01-07-2014

Mitsu?

Except for the Evo, Mitsu has about as much talent for building cars as Daewoo did.

**Kracka** · 01-07-2014

Before deciding what car is next I want to see what Mitsu has in-store for the Evo XI. The rumors are all over the board, I have my suspicions, I've been given info from Don Herring...but I want to see some actual data/info from Mitsubishi corporate on it. Hell, at least something like the Prototype X they gave us in 2007!

**JET** · 01-07-2014

My biggest concern with buying a new Evo would be if Mitsu follows Suzuki out of town. The did good with the current Lancer when it came out, but they haven't done good at all after that.

**Goat Blower** · 01-07-2014

Yeah, things have sure changed for them. Hyundai/Kia could probably now buy Mitsu and put out some cool stuff. Having their designer would really wake up the Mitsu line.

**Murlo26** · 01-07-2014

The good news for mitsu...them leaving would be by choice only.

Mitsubishi is a HUGE ass company, the car portion is peanuts. They are heavy into industrial items, electronics and all sorts of shit that more than likely bankrolls their auto line.

Obviously they are separate companies despite sharing the name, but I am guessing they share resources and funds if necessary but I could be wrong.

After buying a suzuki and them pulling out...it isn't as bad as it would seem. The biggest shit part is my car dropped in value by like 2000 instantly for no reason and parts are expensive. Good thing its been reliable so far.

On topic, new Vette ftw! But the new Evo is supposed to compete with the GTR so I would wait to see what they bring to the table. Mitsu has always made a solid performing vehicle for a good value.

**asshanson** · 01-07-2014

Awesome that it's an OEM option, never seen that before.
You can buy these setups for about $1500, like the AiM SmartyCam, or the ChaseCam/Dashware combo.

It's like the NSA/Insurance companies watching you while you drive. Sweet! Not.

I'm sure he was referring to MMNA, not Mitsubishi as an entirety. I wonder how much their different ventures really are connected, if at all.

**Goat Blower** · 01-07-2014

I'm sure it's just a small division, which can be scrapped or sold if not profitable over time.

Bidness is bidness.

turbotalon1g · 01-07-2014

Evo vs the GTR? wow.

I'd like this or see what the 2015 mustang has, that coyote motor is a beast!

I agree, that would be a huge leap forward for Mitsu if that's true. The GTR is the new poor man's supercar.

Not really anymore...when the GTR first came out it had a MSRP of $77k, but now it's $99k for the base model.

It's time Mitsu gets back to being a technology leader like they were in the 80's and early 90's. Hell, for 2008, the Evo X's drivetrain was pretty revolutionary, but 7 model years have come and gone since then.

Indeed. And they might step it up with the XI. But who knows. Until we see something, I will just keep hoping they come out with something cool.

The new vette has really grown on me and this option is pretty badass. I want!

I think i would still take the c6z though as they are cheaper and I can't afford a brand new vette.

Don Herring Mitsu has a shiny red C6 Z06 sitting on the lot with your name all over it

Straight trade for my evo? Maybe they would buy a built evo, I am sure they could sell it at their mitsu one.
