Mitsubishis Alternative to Evo X - Concept RA

Hey guys,

I don't know if this has been posted yet but apparently Mitsubishi will present Concept-RA at next Detroit Auto Show, and from the first sketches it looks very promising. Whats not clear is whether this is just a design study or a real concept of an upcoming car possibly a replacement for Eclipse or maybe a high-end sports car.

That does look promising. Could be a next-gen Eclipse. Could it also be a comeback of the 3000GT? Toyota has a new Supra in the works, Mazda has a new RX-7 also in the works. Nissan already has the Z and the GT-R. Acura has an NSX in the works as well. Either way, that does look like a pretty cool machine.

I'm pretty excited about the idea of a performance oriented diesel. Gobs of torque with great gas mileage.

It's still speculation, but ever since the FT-HS concept was shown, people have speculated that will be the next Supra. Some crazy dudes already have a website

I am hoping that it's a 3000GT replacement but I won't hold my breath. Also, whatever this is, I think it's a bit too early for an Eclipse concept considering that the current generation is only 2 years old.
