In March, Mitsubishi is set to do something they've never done before: Debut a new car in Europe. That's right, at this year's Geneva Motor Show, Mitsubishi will not just be in attendance hoping to catch a glimpse of Lapo Elkann patroling the uber-stylish show, they will be showing off the all new...well, whatever this concept turns out to be.
And whatever it turns out to be will be the first car in Mitsubishi's "Jump 2013" business plan for a "greener and more global Mitsubishi." This includes i-MiEV, 4N1 Clean diesels, Green Plastics and a PHEV.
Not that we can tell any of that from this teaser. What we do know is that it features Mitsu's re-focused design language and is "envisaged as an open design concept, meant to be flexible enough to suit specific vehicle requirements whilst staging Mitsubishi's famous Three Diamond logo accordingly."
It sort of looks like a more masculine Forte which isn't a bad thing. We'll know more in Geneva.

Diesel EVO would be amazing

@bassrockerx - that would NOT be amazing. what would be amazing is if they stopped trying to take customers from BMW and other luxury manufacturers (have they even succeeded there?) with the Evo and once again made it a great bang for the buck performance car. And if they're not going to do that they should at least take a cue from Suby and bump up the hp on the ralliart (and in turn the evo to justify the nearly 10k price difference when equipped with their dct) since its pricing borders evo 8/9 territory for significantly less performance.

Can't wait to see what this turns out to be in march. With mitsubishi's new direction and the recent death of the eclipse, it's time to introduce something fresh to fill the gap.
