Mitsubishi Tarmac Spyder

If this car came out in the next year or so, would you get it?

Definitly not. I can think of a lot better cars to spend money on. How much are those supposed to run? And what are the specs.

Mitsu's Tarmac Spyder combines the performance of the Lancer Evolution with the open-air fun of the Eclipse Spyder. Under the Tarmac's sleek hood lies a 2.0-liter turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder engine that pumps out 315 horsepower and 274 pound-feet of torque. A five-speed Sportronic automatic delivers power to the full-time all-wheel-drive system with help from front, center, and rear differentials—the latter featuring electronic active yaw control. Huge 19-inch alloy wheels wearing P225/35R19 tires frame front and rear Brembo disc brakes, while lightweight racing-style bucket seats, a DVD entertainment system, and mouse-controlled climate, audio, and telematic controls delight passengers in the interior.
