With the economical climate fast-approaching the nightmarish hell the media have been harping on about for the past six months, there are certain consumer goods being left on the shelf. One major casualty is the electric motor industry, because let's face it, having to choose between keeping warm, fed and watered or having a new car but dying of pneumonia is not really a choice at all. It's perhaps odd then that Find Allentown Used Mitsubishi will be unveiling a new car this summer - presumably for an empty showroom. What's even more odd is that Mitsubishi are known best for two things. Firstly the Shogun which is not only a great 4x4, but the strongly styled fashion accessory for just about any bouncer, body builder or simply builder.
A combination of being stylish, spacious and good on the challenging stuff is helped significantly by the fact that the Shogun is turbo-charged so you can go everywhere in a blur whilst having passers by think they already have seen the world's quickest elephant. The second car Mitsubishi is known for is of course the Lancer Evolution range. In essence a space rocket with another aggressively styled car taped to it, the Evo is now in its tenth métamorphose and is showing no signs of slowing down in its old age. Well-liked in equal measure with car thieves and move drivers the Lancer is a bone fide supercar beater with the latest version completing the 0-60mph dash in a wild 4. 1 seconds.
OK you say, so Bethlehem Used Mitsubishi trucks are known for the above, but exactly why is this odd? Well when you see what they're fighting the financial avalanche with all will become clear. Called the i MiEV, the new car is small, not strongly styled, and is electric battery powered. Have Mitsubishi lost their marbles? In brief no. Despite the car looking like a toy car, the engineering to it is whatever but child's play. Mitsubishi have been quietly working on battery powered automobiles since the mid nineties and the MiEV (Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle) is the fruits of their labour. Even the smallest details appear to have been meticulously designed, with traveling space unimpaired with the batteries underneath the floor (where the fuel reservoir would normally live) and the motor itself under the rear seats.
The i MiEV has recently been built to comply with the strictest emissions regulations on earth - the Japanese K-car guidelines. The K-car plan promotes smaller, better cars in return for less costly tax and insurance. That means the i MiEV is less than 4ft 10in wide (a full 10inches narrower than a Fiesta) and looks even narrower due to its lofty hair styling. Crucially 2 weeks . million kilometers better than the G-Wiz which will be the Mitsubishi dealer's main compete with in order to to clinch a sale.
