Curious Mitsu: Mitsubishi iMiev Sport Air @ 2009 Geneva Auto Show

[Vincentalbot]

Where is the front of the car?

[ramblergarage]

that is about a ulgy as you can get!

[GamlGandalf]

imiev .. if you speak out this in German like imeef then it means "i stink" .. i suggest changing the name for the German market .. at the end the only thing count is that this car rocks ... solarpanel on the roof of the house to power the car .. perfetto

[SuperBUGGzBUNNY]

thats cool, i'd rather have that than over any smart car

[watergrafikFILM]

TRON "LightCycle"

[JUKIO01]

i like the design, really sharp

[adms24h]

O carro, como o conhecemos é a a tecnologia de uso geral, mais ULTRAPASSADA que existe no mundo. A relação custo beneficio de ter um carro de 2000 kilos para transportar 80 kilos é ridicula. Só na cabecinha dos executivos das GM's americanas que esse engodo podia perdurar. Os asiaticos vão se entupir de dinheiro exportando esses carrinhos maravilhosos e MODERNOS para o mundo. Que venha o FUTURO.

@adms24h mhh. y en espanol,?

[adms24h]

Esse é o meu sonho de consumo.

[garagecrap]

E-cars been made since 50's and still no real improvement.

[RCmadness888]

Guess Why???

[chemicalsweet13]

Slap a Hello Kitty bumper sticker on that baby and consider it sold!

[TherapudicCaffeine]

(con't from last comment)

...then that seems kind of expensive.

Also, even if these power stations *are* made, and each one has it's own mini power plant, then what's to say how much should be charged for electricity? Since they're making their own, and the price isn't dependent on availability, couldn't they charge anything they wanted?

And even if they *didn't*, EVs take a while to recharge. You couldn't just stand around for hours waiting.

There's a lot of obstacles - or maybe not. Dunno.

[TherapudicCaffeine]

Awesome! So by 2010 we'll have the Chevy Volt and this iMiev on the road! Woo-hoo for the comeback of electric cars. I actually just got finished watching "Who Killed the Electric Car, ironically. Haha. I really hope this catches one.

One question, though: with millions of people plugging in their power hungry electric cars all across the world, won't that put a massive strain on power infrastructures? And won't electric bill be outrageously high? Unless dedicated charging stations are made...

[alyssssalyn]

what do they mean by Left Hand Drive?

[garethsayers]

they mean you can only drive it if you are left handed

[alyssssalyn]

i kinda understand that... but cars are prettymuch "who cares what hand you write with" kinda cars.. so whats the DIFFFFFFERENCE

[garethsayers]

I was joking actually.... it means the steering wheel is on the left hand side of the car ,like in the US, in Japan and UK its on the right :)

[darkesthrt]

Seriously you could drive a house down the road at 130km/hour if U wanted to put enough polution driven horsepower behind it but those days are gone and if we cant change the way we think & look at things we will die out chocked in our own smog of backward thinking. I love the feel and the sound of a 6L V8 as it roars up the road but I like breathing a hell of a lot more.

[darkesthrt]

Why does everyone always have to harp on about looks? Comments & thinking like that is what led us to the environmental mess we are currently facing. Its design obviously maximises efficiency by minimising wind drag and if charging it up costs $2.00 / 100km & a cleaner quieter future, then who cares about looks? We need to change all our thinking in order to effect change at all.

[sincewhen1990]

iLike-it

[KaraniKun]

Reminds me too much of a futuristic VW Beetle... I love all the innovations future cars have, but geeze, they are too rounded and goofy looking in the design department! D:

[litetheory]

BUILD IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1250796560]

Looks like they stretched out a smart car to make it.

[Sanpedranoazul]

Love the design!!!

[vrshowdown]

why do every fuel efficient car has to look gay?

[GigaSpinoTrex]

That's a very good question.

[bhoas]

Just curious, how does something look, that looks gay? I the sport model is very nice, and the other new model still is good..

[KIEDYSbede]

the car is briliant

[XUZHONGHUA]

欧美人喜欢这种小型车嘛？坐的下不？深表怀疑~

[dennis11364]

當然喜歡。你沒有去過歐洲看過他們的車？都是很小的smartc­ars"

但是美國人都喜歡大的越野車。。。

[GundamAngelicDevil]

Looks awesome, I love how they merge the windshield with the car hood (if they have one, that is...). It shows that Mitsubishi is willing to explore changes. If it ever comes to Canada, I would definitely save up for the Sport Air.

[almostlasse123]

thanks, but no tanks.

HAH Get it? no tanks! hahahahahah

cuz its electric. I crack myself up.

[buckamoona]

i seriously lol's when i saw the thumbnail for this crap

[gamesindians1992]

Looks like the Smart and VW Bug got together and made an ugly baby.

[deliman1211]

that is the ugliest damn car i have ever seen, looks like a supercar version of the VW bug >.>

[ChaosFinale]

Looks like an interesting car. Kind of cute too.

[riverguy9]

Looks great, but fuck that iName shit.

[tarigrs]

the steering wheel look like a sub woofer

[Goremaster]

Take it to Canada Mitsubishi ! Stat !

[MachTo5]

I like the inside but the outside is not my taste but Japan really has out done their selves

[87TAGTABANDIT]

it has a weird name

[gengoodvibe]

Kind a makes you wish you lived in Japan, doesn't it? I know it makes me.

[HalfBreedMix]

Well, at least Mitsu makes the EVO; and if they release that imiev over here, people will need to remember that :-?

[badgerbuddy]

Don't EVER bring that to the north american markets!... cars that gay need to stay in japan

[fliprowleykid]

werd the fuck upp man

[drivin98]

My next car.

[sideslide23]

I want this car!!

[FatGuyWithAShotgun]

yuck.

[anthonyT01]

24 grand is just too much for this car..

You could get a honda insight for about 4 grand less.

[EnigmaNZ1]

Probably blame the price of the lithium battery. Insight uses NiMH, plus the iMIEV is ALL electric. For a city runabout, easy to park, cheap to run and maintain, it'll find buyers, probably business women not hung up on compensating for a small dick by having a big car. All the iMIEVs here, and SMART cars, have had women drivers.

[librano]

which is the front?

[cavegirl10]

WTH! I wish I would...

[CDTbossy]

thats ugly!!! driving pleasure??? japanese are really stupid, so are you who buy products from them. shit....

[sspope]

yeah, I don't know which idiot would prefer this or crappy Toyopet IQ over Fiat 500 or Ford Ka.

[mikelboi87]

thats odd.
