Re: Mitsubishi to return to WRC!?

I was helping my dad shop for one a couple of months ago. He has a Lancer GTS now and really wanted to like the Outlander, but it ended up about 6th on the list with the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento on top. I didn't go with him for every one that he checked out (I was with for 5), but honestly he was pretty heavily biased towards Mitsu and placed it that low.

Re: Mitsubishi to return to WRC!?

Ah, that's a good point. It's been a few years since I watched WRC religiously, but I do remember seeing quite a bit of small cars making their way into the sport. Given that trend, Mitsu would definitely need a smaller car to be able to compete and that Colt would be the best bet.

I did hear rumors from Don Herring that the Colt would be making its way to the US as the new Mirage. Perhaps there is hope yet!

Don Herring Jr. was saying the next Evo will be on the Colt platform...we'll see.

^that would be nice. then it would go back to the evo 1-6 style of a light weight car.

They need to do somthing to get back into the US market. Mitsu needs more than just the evo. Alys parents bought a new outlander sport awd. It is really nice mini suv thing.
