Yeah yeah.
just looking at the holes in the chassis rail in the rear well. At a glance they line up with the holes in my chassis.
If it is the same platform, and it would appear so by the photo that shows all the dimensions, then Mitsubishi arent listening very hard to the bent chassis long arse issues

Is it me or are others noticing that Mitsubishi tend to get uglier with age ..lol..
At Leaste holden got it right..... through the Comodore vc to the vk..like it improved with age...then lost the plot with the vl.....then brought about a redesigned model..
I don't think this will sell....but ugly or not... it's in need of a rethink..

Mitsi seem to have resisted the trend to increase the overall dimensions, esp. Cabin width.

The tub to cabin interface is more friendly to adapting trays without looking out of place.

The cabin side profile is probably more dmax like now.


A respray and suspension upgrade on the mighty ml in a couple of years and I can have a new car feel without the expense or restrictions that come with all the latest models.

Seems to vary from model to model for some reason. Those ones I put up the other day seemed to be for another market so it could be related to that too.

You do need a cool set of wheels and some extra bars to transfer the car. The bling grill still looks ugly though. That's the first thing I have to take off and black it out......

Although some of that may be correct we don't know exactly what they will release for the Australian market. As you're probably well aware you can get different configurations of the drive train in different countries.

Agreed mattz. However, it is worth having a look at this which, being the New Zealand spec, is probably a bit closer to what we're likely to see.

In essence, major features very similar to what there is now. Super Select on GLX-R just for Snowie, Easy Select on GLX.
