Not autospies again...

Considering that Mitsubishi nearly went out of business a few months back, I don't really think any car they produce will be able to compete with a Honda built vehicle in terms of reliability, design, or production quality.

"Concept-X has a 2.0-liter turbo four producing well north of 300 hp, a twin-clutch transmission, a further-developed all-wheel-drive system, and lightweight, all-aluminum bodywork."

I would rather have the TL's 3.2L than the X's 2.0.

Maybe a Civic killer, but I think most buyers who are interested in a TL aren't going to cross shop a Mitsubishi

I think autospies need to wake up. That is a concept interior, the chances that it would make it to production are very slim. Same for those awesome LED headlights.

Because the folks at Autospies are really just a bunch of douchebags without imaginations.

Even look at the comments on the page. Even their readers think they're on crack. It's as bad as comparing a Corvette against a Lexus ES330. Oh AutoLies, how we love thee!

Precisely. Especially anyone that has had experience w/ Mitsu dealerships' lack of ability to properly take care of customers.

For a concept of the Lan Evo, it had better look pretty badass...

It does... but it's just a concept. Plenty of time for Mitsubishi to screw it up before production....
