RE: Mitsubishi Prototype S unmasked
I'm not a big fan of the jet intake grill myself but then again look at what I drive... It has a 1.5" strip that serves as the grill technically... and my other car is a bug... No grill at all.
The body I think resembles the Civic WAY too much for my likings with the exception of the hood which is the ONLY thing I think still lending itself truely and fully to the Evo. The rear.... I'm not even going to touch it. I dunno over-all the lines don't impress me much and performance isn't something I really care about since I have a decent performance modded car already.
As an AWD, I don't see how it would serve a true purpose. I know someone's gonna say Autocross or whatnot but look at the body. It's not set up for something like that. You'd have to whack a foot or so off the bottom to be anywhere near practical for autocross.
It just doesn't float my boat really. We're getting further away from a sporty looking set of body lines but this isn't limited to the Mitsubishi's though.

It would appear to me that it would compete with the STi if it was AWD.
Personally I think its just as ugly as the STi, and im glad this isnt their replacement for the EVO X or they would be screwed, and I would lose all faith lol.
I don't mind it for its purpose, if its AWD it will be bad ***, but I think this is going to be more of an economy car with a price tag to compete with the Mazda 3 etc...
