    Mitsubishi Colt is coming to America

    http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/02/m...ng-to-america/

    Well, its been 20 years since Mitsubishi Colt was introduced in the USA as a Dodge Colt in the late 80's and now its coming back. Some of you may know that these cars are very hard to come by, especially the GT version 1.6L 16V DOHC, and they make a very good candidate for 4g63 swaps. There are even colts that are converted to AWD /Pinks All out/ .

    On a side note, now that we've missed all the good years /90's/ of Colt, we get to see another Lancer/Evo based front end which I think is pathetic.

    Is the new Outlander sporting the same front? I thought I saw a commercial the other night but only caught the end.

    ^ It is. There are going for the same concept as Mazda and Ford is doing lately. Actually now that I think about it, most car companies are doing the same thing. Meh...

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    yeah. but if you think about it, Chrysler, GM and Ford have been doing that for the past 20 or 30 years. as of 05ish they just made it more obvious.

    i remember seeing colts all the time in germany. pimp little cars. the new ralliart 2dr doesnt look too bad though.




    evo conversion?

    Wow to funny, this is how my colt died.


    In high school I was parked next to a light pole at the bottom of a hill in our school parking lot. A Toyota 4-Runner slipped out of gear, came rolling down the hill and hit the back of my Colt. It then kept rolling coming to a stop on the roof of my car. So the back and roof was totaled by the Toyota, and the front was damaged by the light pole when the weight of the Toyota pushed it into it. I can't really say I liked the car, it had no A/C, a cheap fm radio with tape player, but it did have 2 12s in the trunk that made the car rattle to shit.
    Love,
    Matt

    I was excited until I saw it. I thought it was going to be this:


    Colt Ralliart:


    Man, the new one just looks like a Prius minivan or something.


    I was hoping the Colt would compete with the Fit ... but I would rather have a Fit then that.

    [eDIT]
    I guess the white Ralliart posted in the link looks a lot better then a base model.

    Oh, man. That Ralliart would totally kick the pants off the Honda Fit (which I despise).

    I dont think that one looks that bad. Because of the fact its Mitsubishi, i'd rather have that then the Honda Fit. Looks the same to me

    To the red one CJ0 with the turbo....

    The owner is the son of Hermann Gassner, who is a Mitsubishi-Dealer, triple german rally-champion and general dealer for Ralliart here. The car is a prototype build by Gassner, it has the Evo VII engine with something about 300 hp and AWD...

    All parts are handmade, the fenders out of alloy. It´s a real beautifull car and runs like hell - v/max is something about 270 km/h....

    For me as longtime-owner of Colt hatchbacks the new one is disappointig. Colts have allways been the direct contrahent to the Honda Civic, espiacilly to the CRX. The new Colt Ralliart is a pimped housewife-shopping-car, no longer a toxic compact.

    Every year I´m at Coltmania, the german Colt-driver-Meeting, here some impressions...











    Colt sucks, but only the older ones...
