I'll believe it when I see it here in the US...
My brother used to work for Mitsu US Corp office and he told me that several years ago, they contemplated pulling out of the US market completely. The new Lancer saved them, but that's now considered dated. No Galant. There's the $35k+ EVO, but that's also getting dated. Maybe the Colt will save them? |

We had COLTS , CHAMPS , and a Eagle SUMMIT sedan . Would consider one depending on the gas mileage . Could pick up a used Colt / Champ for $150 and give it a tune up , oil change , and other minor repairs and then run it / them for a few years . The memories are flooding back .

We had a Vista when the kids were at home - great little car, died protecting its occupants when kid #1 took here little brother for a piano lesson, and had an accident.

Sorry to see that , we liked the looks of VISTA , SUMMIT wagon , and the COLT station wagon . We still see the SUMMIT wagons on occasion . We had the 1.4 , 1.6 and the 1.5 . Our favorite was the 1.4 , followed by the 1.6.. We bought an 1.6 ltr. '82 CHAMP 3 door with the twin stick for $150 , which was a 4 speed manual with a shifting lever on the floor for ECONONY and POWER mode that dropped the gear ratio for climbimg hills and going through snow . That thing could go through large amounts of snow with ease in that mode . The studded Cooper Weathermaster snows helped as well . Liked those tires better than the ST-2s . They had more bite .

I think the Global Small is a snoozefest. I really dig Mitsubishi product, but this is a sleepy concept.

I used to have an '88 Colt 4 speed manual, loved that little car.
The new one looks "okay". LED headlights are cool. Rest is meh. |

So the conservative car we see here is only going to be plainer in production. |

Owned an early 90s Sigma. Loved the engine and auto transmission but it's air filter was expensive. The front U joints went bad and I was taken to the cleaners by an unscrupulous repair shop (Merit Tech) in Durham, NC. The only Mitsu dealership was ran by an evil repair manager that claimed the tranny was bad and that I had to get a new car. Swore off Mitsus after that That particular dealership lost it's Mitsu cars and just sold domestics after a year went by. Merit Tech was still around ripping off its customers. That was when I started driving Toyotas. I've never looked back since then.
