Hey Mitsu, you need to go back to the drawing board with this one. Your new Lancer and Outlander are awesome but this future Galant just doesn’t cut. The Lancer-esque front end is fine but the rest of the car’s shape doesn’t work. If you’re going to continue your sales comeback in America, you’re going to have to do better than this. There is nothing about this concept that generates excitement at any level.

It’s nice, but it sure isn’t very original—at least not the back end. I see a LOT of Audi A5 and new BMW 3 series in the back.

It must be getting really hard to come up with truly original design ideas these days, ’cause I’m sure not seeing many.

Autonutt
I said earlier that this reminded me of the XG Hyundai models. Was that car based off a Mitsu?
I know they used to have the Precis which was an Excel back in the late 80’s If so its sad bc Hyundai has come a long way and I know I see more of them onthe road then Mitsu’s

Ironic that the ZT concept is named after the Rover 800-based MG ZT.. since they actually look very similar. It also reminds me a LOT of the first Hyundai XG300, which ironically was based on a Mitsubishi floorpan and V6 driveline. This may have been an appropriate Galant in 2000, but not in 2010.

The rear is awesome, very well done. The interior is stupid. Reminds me of KITT 2000 from Knight Rider. What the **** ever happened to clean lines, a wheel, 5 gauges, the shifter, and a basic radio?

I was noticing that the 1996-2002 Galants were pretty good sellers and the last one I have barely seen. They need to get this design finalized and out. It can give the lower end family cars like the Malibu and Aura G6 a run for their money

Wy does everyone criticise it? I think it looks good. And the interior’s great.

dammit to hell mitsubishi….just when i was starting to think you guys were on the right path….
i was afraid they would do this, which is go the Audi route and make all of your cars look the same. (at least audi does a good job at it though). This car looks like the smashed up the fron end of the lancer stapled on the sides of a 7 Series and then slapped on the ass of a Hyundai Sonata. Nothing about this car says original, not to mention its ****ing ugly. At least the new lancer looks good.

The photoshopped interior looks interesting, but hopefully it will come with a blackout feature, otherwise I think all those glowing screens will be very distracting.

The ZT looks like an evo10 that met an alfa romeo 166.

It’ll probably turn out to be the basis for the next Diamante.

The sedan is OK looking as I think it might be the design direction for the new Galant. The interior is futuristic as most concepts are. The “VW Beetle” car is just so ugly. Mitsubishi must make cars that sell in order for them to generate income to spend money on these type of concept cars. Both cars should be redesigned heavily if ever mass produced.

Ricardo Headgiver, if you think that piece of scrap metal looks better than a MINI, you’re a bigger idiot than GM_SALES and 1115.

If you’re a real American you’ll vandalize every single one of these pieces of crap once they get to the dealership lots. Before these pricks get a chance to sell a single one.

Concept cars are designed to turn heads not come out in their concept form. I’m more interested in the fast hub motor drivetrain. This drivetrain and the Chevy Volt concept drivetrain will soon be integrated into most vehicles on the road. Fast and quiet…nice….but mostly fast!

It looks like they took the ugliest and most awkward parts of a BMW Isetta 300 and a VW Beetle and filled in the gaps with pieces inspired by a sea-sick Banana Slug.

Actually, after looking at that picture again, I’m pretty sure I’m the same shade of green as the car.

When a company speaks to their engineers to design something, do they specifically say??

“I want you to design something weird… and ugly.. oh and make sure it is something we will never build! because all we want to do is waste our time and money.. remember now. the point is to be unrealistic.” AND STUPID!
