These are only sketches. I’m sure the real version won’t look as wide or low.

It would be great to see a new hatchback, Mitsubishi haven’t have a good hatch since the Mirage. The Colt is just plain horrid. I don’t care how good they say the Colt Ralliart is, it’s still ugly!

Jamison – first you start saying how fickle previous comentators are for daring to comment on a sketch, then you comment on it a detail yourself AND compare it to a Subaru when its not a direct competitor for the WRX. Uh?

Your obviously a Subaru fan. Nuff said

How fickle are some here….

thats a styling sketch. And it will not look as low or wide as that, Mitsubishi will not produce new body-shell panel dies, which costs up to a million dollar per die.

Engineering wise, thats going to be hampered severely to basically the current EVO X with a hatch style door at the boot.

Now, people who were scolding Subaru for opting for the Hatch for the WRX are applauding this?

The WRX STi looks better… because [1] The front and back side fenders are still wider and apart from the front bumper and head lamps… this is a EVO X… an uglier version. IMO of course.

The sedan EVO X is fine the way it is… what they need to do is release that R-A concept shown at Detroit Motorshow, give it a 4WD platform and call it the new Eclipse… price it the same as a 350Z down under and call it a day.

The EVO X as a sedan and the STi as a Hatch is fine the way it is. And STi Hatch is so much better looking in person people… I got into one and had a better look up close and personal.. and I’ll tell you what its better. The potential for after market enhancement such as bigger wheels and suspensions make it look so much more like a race car too. Check out http://www.nihoncar.com for more photos.

An admirable concept. Very sharp. Low, wide, midly aggressive, would become a classic for sure. Too bad subie designers weren’t as clever. Well done mitso.

Damn a luxury evo wagon. It could be a competitor for the Audi RS4 wagon. Good idea imo!!
