三菱ブースで発表されていたのは、新型『コルト』。3ドアと5ドアの2種類が設定されていて、かなりかっこいい仕上がりになっている。お馴染み『ランサー/ギャランフォルティス』のものとよく似たフロントグリルを装着していることも特徴的だ。実をいうと、僕らの視線は「ストック」バージョンを素通りして、「ラリアート」バージョンに直接釘付けに…早速試乗の申し込みを、なんて目論んでいるところなのだ。
Colt (European market model)
Mitsubishi Motors launched the Colt series in Europe in 2004, and since that time it has sold some 270,000 models. The series includes many variants including the 5-door Colt, 3-door Colt CZ3, turbocharged 3-door Colt CZT and soft-top Colt CZC.
Major changes to the new European Colt unveiled at the Paris Motor Show include the Mitsubishi Motors signature inverted-slant nose and trapezoidal "jet fighter" grille also used on the Lancer series. The 5-door body models also feature a restyled rear end and are joined by a new turbocharged trim level. A new Colt Ralliart trim level is offered in both 5-door and 3-door versions.
The new Colt series also reflects Mitsubishi Motors' strong commitment to the environment. The low-CO2 Colt Clear Tec model is powered by a 1.1- or 1.3-liter engine which incorporates the company's AS&G (auto stop-&-go) idling stop system. In addition, the 1.3-liter Colt Clear Tec FFV caters to growing demand for flexible-fuel vehicles. Posted on 04/10/08 By G-A.G
