 | Mitsubishi at 39th Tokyo Motor Show - WCF  http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm/newsid/2050928.001 Mitsubishi Motors Exhibits at 39th Tokyo Motor Show Mitsubishi Motors Corporation will be showing a number of concept cars, a proprietary next-generation electric vehicle (MIEV) and other technologies, rally machines, welfare cars and current production models at the 39th Tokyo Motor Show. Held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture just outside Tokyo, the 39th Tokyo Motor Show is open to the public from October 22 through November 6, with press and media days October 19 and 20. .... MITSUBISHI Concept-X (show car) With an exterior that carries over the full flavor of Lancer Evolution's spartan road machine image and a high quality interior with a functional layout that encourages the driver to concentrate solely on operating his machine, MITSUBISHI Concept-X points to way a new-age Evolution design that is as handsome and purposeful as it is functional. In the mechanical components department, MITSUBISHI Concept-X mates a turbocharged aluminum cylinder block MIVEC engine to a high-performance 6-speed auto-manual transmission. Extensive use is made of aluminum in the roof, engine hood and other body panels. Chassis performance has been substantially improved with the introduction of Mitsubishi's latest 4WD-based Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) vehicle dynamics control system. The incarnation of driving pleasure, this highly advanced technical specification makes MITSUBISHI Concept-X a showcase on wheels for Mitsubishi Motors' quintessential road performance technology. .... Source: WorldCarFans.com Just had to post that - looks like a notchback version of the Sportback Concept, and it looks good! I'd be happy with one. I'm not sure how a normal version would look without the flared wheel arches, though, but the proportions look promising - like a Ford Focus or a Mazda 6, in some way.

| Re: Mitsubishi at 39th Tokyo Motor Show - WCF That's also great! Amazing! Thanks for the pic, Frank! Hope Brian bought you a drink on us..  There's details that need to be worked on, but overall, I'm hopeful. The diffuser is a bit busy, but I like it nevertheless. I don't like the ricey-ness of the rear lights, and how they have that little kink (it does echo the front lights, but still). But not bad, either. And I've never been keen on mega spoilers. However, the shape is great, and how the area at the top of the bootlid sort of juts out, which reminds me of the current Renault Laguna, looks good to me as well. I like it. Hope they develop this idea further. |

| Re: Mitsubishi at 39th Tokyo Motor Show - WCF My dream car, for its price bracket. My friend has an Evo XIII with around 10K in mods and it's a monster. This thing is supposed to take the game to next level. I can't wait.
