This is the 2010 Outlander.

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

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

[Constant_Project21]

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

[Forced Fed]

I like the Ralli Art version.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
