Peugeot doesn't rally the 206 anymore, its the 307, and the car is a lot bigger.

The Only thing mitsu has to compete with ford is Marko Martin

It looks alot like the Peugot 206 from last season. I'm willing to bet that mitsu would've been competitive if they hadn't opted for mechanical diffs over active (for testing purposes). If the new WRC rules are activated, then I can see all manufacturers going to as small of a platform as they can for the power/weight advantage. This may be the forerunner of that thinking.

As someone else stated, from what I've read it won't replace the current Lancer Evo. You guys will really be yelling about how ugly it is when it outperforms our Evos in every way.

The more i think of it, i would like to see how its going to preform. It won't out-preform our cars stock in speed numbers, but i think it wll tear *** in handeling, or maybe it will kick our *** in speed, but like i said before it is going to be a 1.8 liter w/ a big *** turbo, fast but the smaller engine is limited to an extent. the car porb wieghts about 500 lbs. less(at least)

Personally if it is really based on the original CZT prototype, I'd be first in line to get it.

That one looks far more aggressive that the current gen Colt derivatives.

I did read that they are putting out a Colt RalliArt with a Turbo engine churning out 150bhp.

Believe there is already a Lancer 1.8 GDI Turbo with abt 150bhp, but that is a pretty ho hum car and almost a non-event mated to a 4 speed auto slush box (even if it is steptronic), so I guess it isn't a big leap to get that engine into the Colt.

Wonder if we will see a MIVEC based turbo, a replacement for the 4G63, which can then be used in their next gen Evo.

I wonder if they will ever make an Audi RS3!

I like the way it looks on that cover but does anyone have any side shots or rear shots?
