Intrepidation

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=122308#2 TOKYO — Mitsubishi Motors has introduced the oddly named Galant Fortis sedan in the home market. Americans will see the same car shortly as a replacement for the Lancer compact. But what I don't get is...why would we see it "shortly as a replacement for teh Lancer" when not only was the Lancer just redesigned, but it's the same damn car?

That front bumper looks like the plastic is warped.

It looks like ass.

It's pretty sad that other nations are more eager to learn English than our own. At the rate we're going they'll end up with a higher population percentage that can speak English while ours steadily decreases and becomes Spanish.

Class-leading driving dynamics, interior, as well as having options not available on most C-segment cars in NA, like Xenon lights and Nav system. You calling it ugly is just a matter of your opinion.

Chevrolet shouldn't get a Kappa for one simple reason: it has it's owns special halo car...the Corvette. It outperforms everything in GM's lineup...that's special enough for Chevrolet.

Why? Bland is not what sells cars unless you're Toyota.

It's my believe that the unofficial delivery car is the Ford Focus based on how many I've seen I've never met an SRT-4 owner, so I wouldn't know. Let's not forget what's I'm using for delivery right now.

The Malibu's gonna have a tough time, especially in the interior department...I hope those materials are up to par.

I like this one a lot!

For your view pleasure (pardon the lousy sound quality):

The SRT-4 has a bigger following than the Cobalt SS or Ion RL. It also beats both of them in comparison tests...go look up C&D's.

How about an actual NAV system in one of GM's midsize cars? Class-leading instead of class-lagging interiors from the domestics? No none of them offer that! How about real metal interior bits instead of plastic? I can buy a can of soup made with real metal for less than a dollar...why is it so hard to put some metal in interiors?

Plus, the Mustang never left production. Apparently many of you don't have a clear definition of rice. Rice is adding on poorly molding, strangely shaped body kits to cars that do nothing but increase their weight. They add a fart can and a huge wing and call it a day. Here, is true rice: The SRT-4's add-ons are clean, simple and much of it purposeful. The hood scoop is to let cool air in and teh hood exhausts is to let hot aitr out...being car people you guys should know this.

I like mine better..I don't like how the bed slopes down to teh tail from the "cab". It's still cool though, and I hope they bring it here.

Great photos Sixty8, I also have a couple videos of the B-17 from Friday I'll post today. As for that other little plane, I think it's a trainer but not sure, but I do know it's a regular at the airport.

Sir, you have insulted my car... From the spyshots at least, it looks flabby and ungainly. It's trying to be a CLS but the proportions look way off.

The EAA also owns the Memphis Belle replica and the 909 (I think), both have bee to Lawrence Airport, along with a B-24 that accompanied the 909. Of the 3 B-17's, the 909 is in the best shape...looks like a brand new plane...clean, straight skin, no oil residue, and starts right up. The Memphis Belle is probably in the worst shape of the 3. Sixty8, did yo know there was an Avenger that resided at the airport for a while? I don't know if it's there anymore but i used to see it fly over the city.

I'm going to refer you to Chris' quote in my sig.

That steering wheel is the same one you'll find in the Caliber.

Not sure if I'm digging the square gauge pods, but if you removed the plastic that separates each gauge it would not look square. The gauges themselves look like they came out of the early 90's. I think once all of the brightwork is their, and assuming there's other colors besides gray it may look nice. Will have to wait until it's properly revealed to make final judgment.

Well, I think a Hummer H1 with a Gatling Gun on it's back is a more appropriate anology. Durable, armed to the teeth, and not very comfortable inside...it just looks 1,000,000x better than a Hummer
