looks like a cross between a Nissan and Tundra. Just like the article says i wish they had put in more of the STC design into this production truck. oh well. Just as always we get the watered down crap. Its still cool though...the engine options are eh so-so. I just hope this does justice for mitsubishi's choice to cut the line up for these new models.

i don't really understand why Mitsubishi is re-entering the truck market here in the US. Especially since it's really a Dodge truck.

I think it looks pretty good, although I also wish they had used more of the STC's style for the production model. I hope Mitsu knows what they are doing because I really want them to stick around and do well here in the US.

Definitely looks too much like a Dodge Dakota.

^yep


the old mitsu pick up Mighty MAX was a great truck. My family had one in the philippines and it held up real good, later on the Turbo Diesel motors came out for the Monteros and my uncle easily dropped one into our Mighty Max! that f*er was quick and strong.

for some reason, i think it'll sell pretty well, it has its ony distinctive look and its got the HP/TRQ. It won't just flood the market, but it will break bread and move units. I like it, but im partial to the TITAN, . Im partial to nissan in general... GO NISSAN!!!

I guess thought that cause the new dakota was soo ugly, they had to give mitsu an uglier version to make the dakota look better!
