Not too bad, but that dang grill has got to go.

that dang grill is the new Mitsu corporate grill. Colt, Lancer/EVO, Outlander, and Eclipse all have it.

kinda but Audi is a square not like this. You could say the Nissan GT-R has a Audique grille as well.

I like it. Throw an Evo drivetrain in there and I'll think about it.

Glad I wasn't the only one that saw the Evo's nose and / or Audi nose on this. The ass end is meh to me.

+1....one of the things bothering me about the new design languages around the automotive industry....false hopes are cockteases it seems. They ALMOST come out with a nice full flowing design, then come out half assed or failed.

i think its bad ass. i hate the rims tho. i think there must be a conspiracy with wheel manufacturers because 99% of stock wheels look like s***!

 

[FOGMIC 3]

+1, wish wheels were just as important as the overall design of the car.
