The Colt will be the first new model produced with Daimler/Chrysler involvement. Look for this to be a very good car and don’t be surprised when you see it contesting WRC in the not to distant future.

Mr. AWD
Europe made it clear that rallying is an integral part of and will remian so.I'm sure the same applies for Japan, where rallying is also very popular.
There are even rumors the Colt may make it to the U.S., in the worst case as a Dodge badged car...

Yes, but Airtrek was already in progress. I think D/C was involved from start to finish on the Colt. Perhaps I have it wrong.

That grille doesn't seem to be part of the bumper like the Evo's though. Looks similar to the current US Lancer bumper in that it's prolly attached as a separate piece to the hood (if not bolted on top of the bumper but still swappable/removable).

It's unclear whether the Colt will fearture a new
VVT engine line (updated MIVEC?) or simply a GDI engine.What is known is that the car will be powered by engines ranging from 1.3l to 1.5l (the CZ3 had a 1.5l GDI-Turbo).

The Colt will be released on November 11th in Japan.
Hopefully this will give us a better idea of the direction is heading in... for both design and engine technology.

Mitsubishi's press release today:
I don't know if this will applicable to the Evo or not, but it sounds pretty good to me.
Tokyo, October 31, 2002-Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) is set to raise the bar for customer-focused sales by allowing customers to add or delete equipment in line with their specific needs. By doing so, customers can reduce the price of their purchase or upgrade to the exact specifications they want. Dubbed Customer Free Choice (CFC), the new system will start with the Colt subcompact due to be launched on November 11, 2002.
"Till now, customers have been restricted to specification and equipment packages set out by the manufacturer. This meant they couldn't take out what they didn't want or add some things they may have wanted. Our customer free choice system breaks through this barrier by giving customers a virtual free hand in selecting trim and equipment combinations," said Eiji Iwakuni, head of domestic car sales and marketing at MMC.
With CFC, customers can make their own choice for everything from the engine and drive system to body and interior colors, seat types, and even in-car devices and equipment. By choosing exactly what they want, customers will not only be able to tailor their purchase to meet their own specific requirements, tastes, lifestyle, and budget, but also enjoy the whole purchasing experience through making more active decisions.
CFC represents a renewed effort within MMC to provide customers with the best possible service. "Our R&D, production, logistics, marketing, and IT departments are all working closely together to ensure customers will be able to tailor their purchase as easily as possible," added Iwakuni, underscoring MMC's new focus on cross-functional work.
MMC is now focusing on the turnaround of its domestic passenger car operations. A key target of reforms is to reach a leading position among automakers in terms of customer satisfaction by installing strict dealer standards and encouraging innovative sales practices. CFC is the first concrete step in realizing this.

It is now November 11th in Japan. The Colt is one funky looking vehicle. I just hope they don't use this ugly looking 4 door model as their base for the next gen WRC.
