Just thought i'd throw this on for some perusing. Colt Ralliart would be cool to see tooling around, maybe even help Mitsu's bottom line.

Interesting. Might have some success, but I dunno, it might be too smal for the US.

 

IMHO needs to move more quickly. With a number of models, such as the FIt, the Yaris and a sub-Sentra coming to the U.S. next year (not to mention the Korean entries already on sale now) may miss out establishing itself in that segment as a competitor.
In addition, if they are considering to use the Normal plant, it will be a good two years before cars will roll off the assembly line. That's too late.
The COLT would be a good car if they can modify it to pass U.S. crash standards and fit it it a more powerful engine (like a 1.8l). The COLT has received a lot of praise in Europe, including some awards (German "Golden Steering Wheel" award among others)

 

evo colt anyone?

 

Too small for America? They sell the Mini Cooper for crying out loud.

 

Colt Ralliart have 1.8l Turbo Engine,165hp

 

Actually no. They have a 4g15 dohc mivec turbo matched to a CVT tranny. That being said, I would be first in line if they kept it to the same design as the overseas model. Knowing mitsubishi though, they will put a limp motor in it and it will be a dud.

 

Hallo,

This is my first post here. I have no esperience with Forums, so i hope i do nothing fatal to ask here for the Colt Evo like it is shown on this site.
