$60,000 for a Mitsu? You'd have to be drunk.

Wow. For that kinda dough you get get a fast car that looks a bit better.

And, being Mitsu, you have to wonder what'll happen when it needs warranty work a bit down the road (as Mitsu is having financial problems).

Chop about $18k off of that tag and it's more reasonable. Otherwise it looks like a tremendous car.

Nice interior. The exterior is very boring.

Those 4 bangers are already boosted to within an inch of their life, so I have a hard time beleiving you could run one for long without a rebuild.

For that much I could have so many more solid rides not waiting to blow their top.

That car is more expensive than Z06.

You have to be really stupid to spend that kind of money for Evolution.

Actually that motor is pretty darn bullet proof. If properly cared for it can last a long time.

"Silly car, silly price tag, too. The list price of £32,000 (about $57,300) looks exorbitant, even in England. But it is filling a hole in the market—an even hotter and even more expensive FQ-340 is about to be launched. "

What hole is that?

Are we REALLY aching for fast expensive pieces of crap? ARE WE??

I thought that's why the F-body died!

The hole is the money pit that people with too much of it, are willing to throw it into to have something even slightly more exclusive than their neighbor. Everyone wants to be different.

OT: For example, I wanted to be different, so I let rust develop in my 89 Olds. I added some dents for 'character' as well. Oh yeah, and I added a K&N to make it go faster. So now, my Olds is faster and more unique, much to the chagrin of the guy down the road with the same car.

Red Star said it.

Top of the line Vette or the Evo for roughly the same price?

No contest.

For 60 large you should be able to pick up a C6 Z06 or as-yet-unnamed top-dog Mustang(Cobra, Cobra R, what have you) and either would blow the doors off of that POS.

What must have been their inspiration for exterior styling?
They are making a GTO caliber mistake. All I can say is: Only in the UK.

Wow, "Sucker born every minute" put to the test....hehe.

Why not buy a Z4 and put 10-15K worth of mods on it, and have a badazz car that doesn't look like it came from a bad ripoff of Speed Racer?
