Default "Great idea guys!!"

"Lets take an Audi grille, turn it upside down, take some TSX headlights, and a Firebird hood, and the back half will look like a Mazda 3. It'll be genuis!!"

You guys crack me up. First of all, what's wrong with borrowing ideas and putting together a package that's new? I don't even see some of the stuff you guys point out.

If you do some research you will find that there's a reason Mitsubishi is going with the bigger front grills and it has nothing to do with Audi. I do find it amusing that some people get all excited about it and start making remarks that Mitsu is ripping off ideas from Audi and others. 2 liter 4 cylinder engines putting out 300+ horsepower is going to need a lot of air for the turbos. It NEEDS to have a large mouth in front.

It's all good though. I love seeing competition. It makes for better choices for consumer down the road. Just don't be surprised when these cars do hit the market and they tear our cars a new one if you know what I mean..just like the fugly Evos are doing today.

Default Guess I just know they'll be rattle traps in 2 years ;-)

Car looks cheap and disposable. For the insanely low prices Mitu charges, guess that's fair

Default We'll see:) I have a feeling this next version is going

to be much more solidly built. It seems they are making a concerted effort to improve the design, both exterior and interior to attract potential buyers like me who would have nothing to do with the current version. From what I've seen with the concept vehicles, they're doing an effective job of it.
