AutoWeek also reports that the engine will be a four-cylinder version with design work being handled by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan. Harunari added that any introduction will “depend on market acceptance of its competitors.”
Mitsubishi previously pegged its hopes on electric cars taking off in the States, but Harunari admitted that the company was also working in cars that run on ethanol based fuels. Mitsubishi has had some great diesel powered cars in the past, and our favorite has got to be the turbodiesel all-wheel drive Delica.
