Mitsu, if it follows this path, will cease to be a viable company within 10 yrs. Guaranteed.
This, to me, seems like 'buy me' bait. That is, they are looking to be bought. Mitsu is in deep doo doo. Sell your shares is my suggestion...

@Squirt-Reynolds: No, that PILOT'S CALL SIGN is now Eilieen....
The Driver is one of my favorite movies- TRULY under-appreciated chase scenes right up there with Ronin and Bullit. And using cars (and a pickup!) not usually seen in them.
Just.Awesome...

These new colors just fit better with the pending Zombie-pocalypse. Black 'eyes' and all...
WTH we gettin' these over here in the US of A?

Offer 450, take 550. I've had two. INDESTRUCTABLE- but, the tranny's are expensive to repair. This would be good for parts- the body is pretty rashed as is most of the interior.
But, as a vehicle, Toyota needs to bring a small, affordable 4wd back and undercut Subie's.

@Dan820: That is SMOKIN' hot.
What's under the hood?
Wouldn't care if you had to pedal it- it's still hottt....

@MarauderMan: I've had 3 of these- drive a '98 version now that I got for $500 bucks. WITH LIGHTS.
Replaced the radiator at 110k miles. That's it. I'll own dozens of these as my primary daily driver. They.don't.quit.

@EMTtech: How does 'inexpensive' and 'Mercedes' go together??
Is that an oxymoronic attempt?
Seriously. While M-B diesels last long, ANY part is gonna get you parted with a lotta jacksons...

@petrolhead1: These are awesome! Too bad they rusted like cheap nails- nearly impossible to find one nowadays.
@Turbo Driver:
Wanted to add:
Second place: my '86 Toyota Tercel 4WD wagon. 800 bucks. Completely unstoppable in the winter- was my 'ski car' for about 4 years. Up and down Colorado mountains. Never put a dime into it. It never once failed me. 143k miles when I finally sold it.
Third Place: 1978 Lincoln Coupe. 500 bucks. 28k original miles. MINTY condition. Only sold it after a dump truck broadsided me on the freeway. Saved my life. Got 5oo for it just for the trans and engine (460/C-6 combo).

Buick. Grand. National.
Still got it.
Street raced, drag raced, car shows galore. It's a complete lifestyle...
I've owned over 80 cars... this one is still closest to me, and the best 'value' for what I got...

@TommyG_57: All GN's do NOT have limited slip. I've owned two, right off the showroom floor, that did not have it. Granted, both were 86 models, not 87's. I put a limited slip in my current '86 when I won one in a car show.
I believe in '87 they became standard- but for certain in 84 thru 86 it was not.

It's a 4-door. End of statement. Send it back...

Why is George Washington be-heading those people in that picture?
@Turbo Driver: Oh, and forgot the GLI- either 2 or 4-door versions followed this body style.
Not as quick, but a LOT better top-end. Gearing was totally different. A friends GLI could not keep up in twistys with me, but left me for dead on the freeway...

@Chairman Kaga: No- that's the Rabbit 'normal'. The GTI didn't hit these shores 'til '83. The '83 and '84 were the originals- and lighter/quicker than the ones for the next 10 years. NOT easy to find one in good shape- at all.
Yes, in the EU they were around in GTI form since '79. But not here. We got the original Rabbit in '77, diesel in '78, and the Scirocco right with them.

@Don Fehlio: Absolutely second this. Have had two. Can't be killed. Defines hooning.
How in the heck can we miss this one on here?
The ORIGINAL
and STILL THE BEST hot-hatch...I've owned 4 of them, and woudl own another if I could find a decent one..

Something I notice here- is a rally car going to go with such low-profile tires? Would that not defeat some of it's capability? Look at the size of the brake discs- damn, doubt you'd get smaller rims on it, but, shouldn't it have 16" rims, at a max on it?
That is, if you were to really rally...
