    I'll take one in WRX blue, with a black/grey carbon fiber hood... um... so where do I send the check?


    But seriously I'm not crazy about the interior around the drivers seat, ie: the high center console with side mounted shifter thingy. The steering wheel looks like its kinda big too but these are just little things that I'm sure would get changed a million times before production anyway.

    Not sure if the Mitsu will make it to the US shores (assuming it is ever made) based on this article:

    Originally Posted by The Japan Times

    Struggling Japanese automaker Mitsubishi Motors Corp. is quietly seeking a buyer for its U.S. operations, implying the company intends to leave the world's biggest car market, the Asian Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
    Mitsubishi Motors' new president, Osamu Masuko, traveled to Detroit in January to begin talks with potential buyers during the North American International Auto Show, the business daily said, citing people familiar with the matter.

    Masuko was accompanied by Yasushi Ando, head of Tokyo-based investment fund Phoenix Capital Co., which holds a 21.2 percent stake in Mitsubishi Motors, the sources were quoted as saying.

    Masuko and Ando met privately with several industry executives, including representatives from U.S. private equity fund Ripplewood Holdings LLC, the paper said.

    Ripplewood did not show much interest in Mitsubishi Motors' U.S. operations, the sources were quoted as saying.

    The talks mainly focused on Mitsubishi Motors' assembly plant in Normal, Ill., and its North American sales unit in southern California, the paper said.

    If Mitsubishi Motors withdraws from the U.S. market, it would be the first major foreign automaker to do so in more than a decade, according to the daily. French auto manufacturers PSA Peugeot-Citroen SA and Renault SA, and Japanese automaker Daihatsu Motor Co. pulled out in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

    That VW is the Sweetest...

    I have ever seen. Too bad its a VW. I would buy it in that form, but after its changed to sell to the masses, I probably wouldnt buy it. I'll take the Mitsubishi.

    They're all good, but if I had to replace the VX with something else, I'd still want the Toyota RSC!
