While I know you're joking, that idea is a bunch of crap. Guatemala is a second home to me, and if you ask the natives what they think about it, they've never heard of such a ridiculous theory. Every time I ask someone about it, they laugh and laugh and laugh at how crazy we could be to come up with such a far fetched story. They simply tell you that it's the end of one era, and the beginning of another. Nothing more.
Ha ha I was joking. I mean why didn't it end in 1912? I mean according to what they say is just says 12/21/12. It doesn't say 2012. It is a joke just like Y2k.
But back on subject. The diesel would be nice. Much more efficient than a gasser. But the gasser will be able to generate a bigger crowd because most people wont go to a diesel since they all believe them to be loud.
Lol I may sound like a broken record but dammit I want Direct Injection! That would improve the car greatly. If that heavy Audi 2.0 can get like 29 on the hwy EPA rating the evo sure as hell can.

But it does say 2012, the Mayan Long Count Calendar goes back hundreds of years. No, I haven't seen it personally but its the way I understand it from what I've read. But also, that it could mean end of an era, not necessarily the end of time.

They should make a switch so you can choose an MPG mode or a PERFORMANCE MODE. THE MPG uses electric from a high-output battery and help get the car moving. and if you want pure performance turn it off and it uses 100% of the motor.

That's pretty much the way most hybrids work, except the computer handles turning off the hybrid portion. The switch being the gas pedal. The harder you press it determines wether or not you get only electrical power, only gas power or both.
bingo,, the world isn't going to end... the mayan calendar just basically is going to start over.

But on topic anyhow. I really think that maybe mitsu should bring over a 4d54 with CR injection. They can have a diesel hybrid. Those can get like 100 mpgs.
I think that what Mitsu should do is actually make the car powerful. I mean why can't the US have something more powerful like the fq?

If they bring over the 4DXX, I think they should put it under the hood of a pickup truck and sell a real Mitsubishi Triton/L200/Warrior truck instead of some reskinned Dakota BS, that or a new Montero. I think the new eclipse should be offered two ways, a base GS with a N/A 4B12 FWD, and a 4B11T RA powered GSX AWD. But since the latter is probably too awesome and would probably never happen, a FWD 4B11T GS-T would be okay. I don't think the world is ready for diesel Evos yet.
don't worry, mitsu's already way ahead of the game.4 years ago, they made an all-electric evo: http://media.mitsubishi-motors.com/p...etail1321.html. it had 4 electric motors, one in each wheel to give it some pretty awesome balance and a really simple AWD system. They even ran a rally race with it 
Top speed is 110mph and it could go 165 mi on a charge. Thats pretty kick *** considering it was 2005 before anyone else cared about electric cars

Everyone look - MPG is an easy fix, really it is, Im almost positive the car companies have a lil thing going with the oil industy to keep cars consuming fuel.
A college professor by my house 20years ago made a carberator that got around 100mpg on a chevy 350 V8.. Another friend tried one of those water into hydrogen additions to his car and improved his gas significantly, despite critics
It wont be that difficul to improve gas to 35MPG in 7 more years, and still have performance. We as a particular market need to show and let the industry know that we need performance. This is just MO. i'm sorry But I love my turbos too much!!

When you start talking mass-produced electric cars, you get into the 'wheres all that electricity gonna come from?' debate. Don't worry, Mitsu's got that covered too.
Thats right... Mitsubishi (remember... not just a car company) is gonna make electricity in space and beam it down to Earth WITH FRICKIN' LASERS! How's Mitsu gonna be in 2016? Just fine, thx 
The concept of space-based solar power was introduced way back in 1968, but it’s only recently that the world has latched on to the idea. Japan is definitely getting in on the action with its latest spacey plan - a $21 billion solar-powered generator in the heavens to produce one gigawatt of energy, or enough to power 294,000 homes. The Japanese government announced the plan back in June, but there has been an important new development - Mitsubishi Electric Corp. and industrial design company IHI Corp. are now teaming up in the race to develop new technology within four years that can beam electricity back to Earth without the use of cables.
Mitsubishi and IHI are joining a research group containing 14 other countries to tackle the daunting task of getting Japan’s four square kilometer solar space station up and running in the next three decades. By 2015, the Japanese government hopes to test a small satellite decked out with solar panels that beams power through space and back to Earth.
