Mitsubishi Concept-RA

[lonestar22]

What Top Gear has to say about it: http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/2540/.

I think it's a really good concept and I HOPE they try to bring a sporty diesel to the US.

What I really can't understand is why it seems that the UK really likes Mitsubishi (yes, I'm taking Top Gear as a representative of the whole country) yet the US has this innate distaste for Japanese cars. And another thing I can't understand is why almost every single freakin' lifted (yet immaculately clean) truck in Utah is a diesel yet the same people don't want diesel cars... I don't get it.

i couldnt have said it better as a top gear fan myself

The british have excellent respect towards the Japanese, more importantly Mitsubishi. The US just like's diesel in their trucks because the power it produces can outhaul anything out there, and at the same time it's more fuel efficient. When they see it in a car they don't see the same potential, specially since us American's believe our cars are a dying breed.


On a side note, Mitsubishi rules and the Japanese love the trademark because it goes back further than any other auto maker in their country. Mitsubishi Zero much? LOL

What's funny is that these massively powerful diesel trucks dump a lot of fuel out the exhaust unless they're using propane or methanol injection Not enough cold air to burn all that fuel! So much for efficiency.

That's true but tell that to your average turbo diesel redneck and you get denial all accross the face.

WOW, the concept has the same body proportion of the current eclipse.

I really like that front end but the back is kinda awkward the way it points out

Oh well its still hot :D

[komodo]

The ass looks a bit weird...
IMO the front bumper is to close to the wheels.. but it's a neat little design.

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

HOT! :D

[WarmAndSCSI]

Yeah, the production model will never look like that :(

I like the color though 8)
