iMiev would really give them a big boost in the US...

So lets go Mitsu, get the thing OUT! Your letting nissan catch you.

I would rather drive that than a Smart car. People actually drive those things!

a 40 mpg go cart is not my idea of efficient.

that stupid i-miev has been driving around in circles at the factory MOD for the last 3 years. no developments as far as i can tell. seems like they park it and just bring it out for PR events. i really doubt it'll lead to anything.

This is good to hear, but until they improve the product line more, i just dont see long term viability.

I did a photo op for Mitsu during MOD a couple of months back along with a Mitsubishi Delica and the Outlander sport before it was released. the iMieV is not bad, does look more like an electric car than the leaf but I also agree that it probably wont be in production for sale here anytime soon.

They're not going to bring the iMiEV here... Wait, is it news that they're not leaving? MMNA is just one small part of a HUGE corporation with more money than they know what to do with. Too bad they make nothing anybody wants besides the Evo. People don't want a new Mitsu anymore, they just settle with one.
