I've liked it ever since I saw it at the detroit car show.. I don't think its big though. and I love the fact that it went back to more like the 2nd gen style. I like the 3rd gen... but its....eh, I'll leave it at that. they are both great cars. Im wondering if it actually comes out with twin engines and 400+hp... maybe it will give mitsu the comeback it needs to stay afloat

Yeah they are trying pretty hard. As for the 2 engines, i'm a little hesistant. A V6 up front and a 200hp motor in back? Let's say you want more power, How exactly do you "modify" a motor? I mean, basically the v6 is gonna be carried over from the current gen, perhaps using the 3.8liter version instead, so most aftermarket equipment will fit up to it. But other than possibly changing out the onboard batteries to ones that they discharge a bit faster(kind of "overclocking" the motor), i don't see how you can make any improvements on the motor to increase hp. Also, if i remeber the old EE thing, an electric motor creates 100% torque at 0 rpm and 0% torque at max rpm. Other than switching out the motor completely to a larger or more efficient unit, upgrading them isn't a likely option.

I don't know, the front and rear windshield are wayyyy huge. Plus, it's too futuristic looking to me.

P.S. For anyone confused about my previous statement, My bad. I'm used to saying a "motor" is actually an electric device(like a dynamo), and an engine is any device that creates torque from any given energy. So all motor's are engines, but not all engines are motors. Anybody get that? It's a dorky engineering thing......

dont know, but im sure someone will come up with something, either way you can treat the rear motor kinda like a boost system and just upgrade the mechanical motor, maybe put in an engagement switch for the rear motor, kinda like NOS, only electric, hehe, *sigh* i dunno.................
