Someone already said SAAB so Mitsubishi
RIP Lancer Evo
Isn't Mitsubishi still around and kicking? I have no idea how that brand solders on with such low volume and price points.
Technically. But they're a shell of what they were. Man I'd love to see a new take on a GTO VR4. And why'd they use the Eclipse name like that. :( :(
In the OG Grand Turismo I somehow wound up with a red GTO. I was able to upgrade the thing to something silly like 940 horsepower. It was... great.
In very broad brushes, cars seem to be getting both more boring and higher performance. The Evo, Celica, Camaro (again), Sky/Solstice, S2000, MR2, STI (the new one doesn't really count), etc are all gone. On the other hand, most budget EVs will give the performance cars of yesterday year a good run for their money.
only SUVs for you now
They probably don't make it anymore but I just saw some oddball Mitsubishi sedan at a buy-here-pay-here lot down the street. I'm not even sure what the hell it was as I've never seen another. It was styled like the early 2000s Kia Rio before Hyundai/Kia upped their game.
I think the Eclipse GSX/GST was cool but their build quality was dogshit and that's why you don't see them on the road anymore. My wife had a GS and it blew up at 120k miles. Meanwhile my Camry is at 230k miles on just oil changes alone.
maybe the sedan mirage? it looked vaguely like the old lancer and had the unmistakable 2000s nugget look.
I think you might be right based on the photos I see.
