Not too bad looking. What's up with the double windows on the doors? Do they each roll down separately?

The concept had wider flares and stance in the back. This one looks like it has a load in its drawers.

I like it. I see a bit of the old turbo eclipse in the side view and the 350 Z in the back.

Audi TT copy. It also looks like Mercury Cougar.

the back end has taken it's styling cues from the Mitsubishi FTO

Looks good, it will do well here with 265hp

I see Hyundai Tiburon in the front, look around the headlight area.

Yeah, styling cues from others, including past Mitsu's but nicely done none the less. Interior is kinda killer save for the god awful Mitsu wheel design[way past time to retire it guys] and the requisite[why I don't know] Japanese dash top info center[once again, 'nuf already!]. Interested on the low down performance wise. Mitsubishi must hit a bullseye, or else probably.

Looks like someone grabbed it on the roof and shoved down as hard as they can, bent the fenders down heh. I don't like it.

I'd have to see it in person.

I'm not impressed with these pictures? That's supposed to be a sports car?

It does remind me of the Audi TT. They are both very aerodynamic from the back or front.
