Seems to me BMW is blatantly copying Mitsu design. Please prove me wrong.

I will just add that BMW concept CS is as UGLY as hell. The same is true about their newer 1 series.

the 1 thing BMW has over is FREE maintenance during the warranty period even on brakes & tires.EVO is fun & all but there is something about european luxury-seems to attract more women instead of acne infested guys w/spiked hair who work at tacobell...

a decent looking Bimmer- the hartge M5:

Why should BMW be immune? Here, this reminds me of Lancer and not that much of Alfa:

Okay, Mitsubishi & BMW have both been shopping at Alfa Romeo's design department

Well Mitsu did admit they based their design off the AR so not a very hard guess there

BMW needs the free maintenance and good warranty, because their build quality sucks. Bavarian cars are all hype, except for the attracting girls thing.

Wow, it doesnt look like a mitsu - front end looks like a dodge charger and so does the side profile - LOL

Also, mitsu interior quality blows *** compared to honda and toyota - our fit and finish sucks - thats why stuff vibrates - maybe the X is a lil nicer, but I don't think we have any right to bash BMW's quality owning Mitsus. Now, if we had a lexus, I could understand....

Just my 2 cents!

So what? Its a Lancer that has a warranty?

And they'll even give you free car washes for the 4yr/50k period! Haha.

Man that car is in another league. The evo's looks dont even come close. And the body styling of the Bimmer is pretty much a continuation of the design they have been using for a few years now. I'd never look at that car and think anything other than BMW.

What do you mean? I don't see any continuation of anything. And take a look at Mitsu own concepts - the craftsmanship is on par. Frankly I'd own two fully loaded Lancers for the price of a single Bimmer.
