However the rear of the Thai looks better than what we get, if I could get the US front with Thai rear I would get the best of both worlds

EDIT: I wonder who will be the first car manufacturer to come out with the idea of buying a car to each individual specs online, just like you would go to dell.com and configure your own computer, this would also eliminate the middle-man, the dealership Have an option of two front ends, two rear ends, no stupid packages just individual items like for example being able to select Rockford Fosgate without sunroof etc etc, god, I need to open up my own car company...

no its more complicated of that, many companies wish they had that freedom, but the government has dumb *** "Safety"regulations that what it really does is protects the local markets jobs and all, at least for the domestic companies here, but now that there are production plants for the Japanese here, thats more unlikely.

if that was the case i would have bought my IS 220d from the UK, a beautiful diesel version fot he IS 250.

but better yet, i wish Mitsu would take some pointers from Lexus and build something as sexy as the Lexus IS F, its just Dead F&$# Sexy

Lexus IS-F??? From aesthetic point of view it looks more ricey than Evo IX with all the body parts molded in as if were taken from another car (I am a fan of clean designs although strangely I am attracted to Bangles surface flaming but BMW does it right though). IS-F is not my cup of a tea

yeah, the front looks weird and the "fake" stacked exhaust tips look tacky

The lexus llol the car is ***** on wheels, i think so far in the pre stages of release its earned the right to be over the top, look at the specs. lol

anyways getting back to the fortis and the Ralli, I wouldnt be surprised if its molded from the Japanese models AWD, I dont the think the rally art will borrow too much more from the EVO, the evos stability controls and such. very advanced stuff. But hey , who knows Mitsu is all over the place
