not a bad car at all. i think they use too much black, and the exhaust pipes look stupid. otherwise a good looking car.

I had a GS. I didn't have a digital camera when I had it so I'll have to try to take some pics of the pics I have of it, if that makes any sense.

Its alright..I like the inside. Looks nice and comfortable for some nice sporty runs. I woulnd't drive it long distance or anything like that. The main reason I don't like it is that engine bay! How cluttered up can it be!? And whats the deal with the rubbermaid on either side of the powerplant?

a 4 cyl making over 400 HP? Definitely would see a short lifespan of this engine.

The engine in this concept is not only a proven engine, but one that is well capable of being around 7-8 yrs down the road. This isnt a one off engine.

This is no different then the SRT-4 motor.

I have more faith on longevity of the SRT-4 motor compared to the Mitshu motor. I mean 400 HP for a 4 cyl? Even with Stage 3 kits for SRT engines, we're only looking around 300+ HP. 7-8 years is do able, but at the cost of very high maintenance. An average person that does average maintenance, this motor may not see 7-8 years, that holds true for the SRT motor too. Only small group hardcore diehards like us that take pride in our vehicles can make these engines and the vehicle itself last almost indefinitely. Small displacement generating huge power just wears out faster than bigger displacement making the same power. Example is to compare this mitshu engine vs 6.1 hemi making the same amount of power in this horse power range. I'll take the hemi engine. I know it'll last longer at a much lower maintenance cost. I've owned a couple of turbo'ed 4 cyl in the past and it ate my wallet to keep them in tip top shape. However, after about 80k miles, cost gets more expensive, turbos goes out, head gaskets blown, worn out piston rings, etc...
