I dislike Suzuki because instead of giving us the proper Swift, we get the Swift+ from GM-Daewoo.

Maybe that'll change if the compact market heats up when fuel crosses a 1.75/liter, 4.50/gallon? I just think that better competition between manufacturers will only benefit us, the consumer....

The EU and RoW Suzuki Swift is a fantastic little subcompact and the reviews back this up.

If it were here at least Suzuki would have some viable passneger car product in the US, sadly they seem determinded to pull a VW here just like Mitsu not offering the excellent Colt.

Apparently Mitsubishi is revamping it's north American lineup due to flat sales, we may see the colt yet... Suzuki has to import everything that isn't rebadged from Japan which for them isn't cost effective. The kisashi is doing well so there's hope.

Well Mitsu just turfed their LanEvos (Long live the Evolution!)

Their Colts are great little cars... there's a few 3rd and 4th gens around where I am, some as badge engineered Dodge/Plymouth. I think (according to Wikipedia) Eagle Summits are also related.

Kishashi's are nice - a tad overpriced but they look very engaging.

But back to the OP, those two hatchbacks look amazing. The Mitsu concept looks better than their current CZ3/Colt (which looks a bit high and vertical)

The Mitsu concept looks great, but I'm afraid it's elegance won't make it to the production version.
