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!

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

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

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.

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

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
