    It would actually look cool and modern with fender skirts on the rear and a small fin down the back, like a Tatra!

    The color is gawdawful. That said, can we shave a few hundred pounds off this little rascal by, oh I don't know, hogging out all those heavy batteries and installing a nice little turbodiesel? I know the Japanese make beaucoups handsome li'l turbodiesels, many of which make enough power to drive the MiEV at freeway speeds. You'd have some crazy huge fuel mileage, instant infrastructural support, treehugger acceptability if you sell it with a full tank of biodiesel, and at least one immediate sale: me.


    My round-trip commute is about 90 miles a day, sharing the car with my wife. That kind of regular use will destroy EV batteries pretty fast. Make it a diesel and this car could be everything I'm looking for in a fuel-sipping commuter.

    I'm so tired of these iMiEV concepts. I'd like to see an actual product before electric cars become obsolete.

    When you start it up does it say,


    "Greetings. The Master Control Program has chosen you to serve your system on the Road Grid. Those of you who continue to profess a belief in the IC Engine will receive the standard substandard training that will result in your eventual elmination. Those of you who renounce this superstitious and hysterical belief will be eligible to join the Warrior Elite of the MCP. Each of you will be given an identity disc."

    I hear they're having trouble trying to get the Electric motors to develop crankwalk.

    hmm... something tells me the range will be extraordinarily reduced with those tires.

    and how do they keep that little dot from rolling away as well?

    @damnelantra™: The dot is held on with electro-magnets. Believe it or not, the ride is actually improved over a regular Mitsubishi. The rythmic sound of a flat tire will reverberate throughout the cabin and make you forget that you have those rims.

    Mitsubishi continues its desparate search for identity.


    Isn't MiEV the same thing they tried with the Colt? Basically, four electric motors, one at each wheel. I'd be happy if they just brought the gas-engined i to the States. Far better car than the silly Smart.

    Lead Designer: What have you got for me?


    Mitsubishi Design Minions: How about if we smash a VW Beetle, then stretch it?


    Lead Designer? Perfect! Why didn't I think of that?


    Minions: uhhh, you did.


    Lead Designer: Good. Now make it resemble an A5 from the side and let's put it out there!


    Minions: Do you still want those played-out eighties style three-star rims?


    Lead Designer: Of course!
