WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE WHEELS? WHY?
>>15096628
the wheel to booty ratio is off the charts
>>15096628
>subcompact sedan
absolutely disgusting
>>15096628
because they're making econoboxes pigfat now, not simple and practical (more balanced), and not to mention overcomplicatedly ugly.
>>15096628
I genuinely think my rotors are larger than those wheels..
>>15096628
look at the damn thing
what the fuck is this shit anymore
They should stop getting ideas on /o/
Can't you buy a brand new Mirage for less than $15k?
What happened Mitsu
>mfw Nissan revives and updates the Lancer
>>15096659
100 years in potatoshop
>>15098744
I'd drive that
>>15096628
No way that's not a shop.
>>15098768
at some point we shifted into a bizarro universe where shoops are actually the reality.
Will econoboxes ever have normal proportions again?
>>15098792
OF COURSE NOT.
It's like only 2% of all people disapprove of the current design trends, we have no chance. Also regulations.
>>15098792
>Will econoboxes ever have normal proportions again?
You mean to actually ask if ECONoboxes will ever have less efficient proportions and costlier larger sizes again? Of course not. It's not just the USA, but many countries have laws giving future targets for improved efficiency. In order to meet those future targets, design changes are made. Companies without skill or ability to have technological innovation may use 13 inch wheels for more mileage efficiency. Why? Perhaps they they gutted themselves due to managers having SHORT TERM goals of improving numbers to get performance bonuses. Those managers didn't care about the future company as they would be retired by then, so they would do nonsense things to improve short term numbers or even fake stats and mileage numbers in order to meet or exceed targets in order to receive management performance bonuses just before they retired. The future people would pay the penalty though. Hmm, that sure sounds like the usa government (republicans deficit spending).
>>15099552
Mitsubishi sure put themselves into a death spiral with repeated corruption scandals.
>>15098768
>>15098773
It's like /o/ can see the future and doesn't even know it.
The Mirage is the cheapest new vehicle sold in North America (I assume there are even shittier brands in Europe like Dacia and Proton or whatever).
Not what you're giving up vs. paying $1000 more for a Fiesta or whatever. Probably much too much.
>>15096659
Smaller windows will be cheaper to make. Less materials, higher yield, can make on lower-spec equipment. This was done to shave yen.
>>15098792
Not thanks to 'BE KIND TO THE JAYWALKERS' regulations.
Or to side impact protection.
Or regulations on headlight height.
And crash protection.
And the fact that sheet metal is cheaper than glass.
And 'I CAN SEE OUT, THEREFORE I DONT FEEL SAFE'.
Miss me yet?
>>15096692
How's a V8 Charger like yours in reliability? Im planning to buy a 392 Hemi.
I never understood why subcompact sedans exists. Just stick to hatches you fucks
>>15098744
That actually looks better.
>>15099680
Most people like that car look rather than a hatch look. Also a valid reason is 3rd world countries like India, etc are filled with sub compact cars like Ford Figo Aspire, Hyundai Xcent, VW Vento(Polo Sedan), etc shit.
>>15099626
>Suzuki Car
No. Stay go.
>>15099700
What's wrong with the Swift? Always thought it looked like a japanese Mini
>>15099690
Look at the ops picture, it would look so much better if its a hatch. Not to mention the practicality because its already a small car
>>15099700
I had the Baleno.
Fucking awesome car but the transmission was made of glass.
>>15099700
Your beloved Geo-metro is a Suzuki.
>>15098744
10/10 would drive
>>15099707
This. Such a cute little car. Shame it's no longer available (in North America).
>>15096628
>>15099713
There is a hatch. Looks terrible too.
Would be nice if another brand brought the upcoming new-gen Swift to North America. But not sure who that could be.
>>15098744
Why
Why is this not real...
>>15096628
that's what happens when you make a bigger car off a smaller low cost platform
>>15098795
>It's like only 2% of all people disapprove of the current design trends
really?
>>15098744
This legitimately looks a million times better.
I made some revisions so, 200 years in potatoshop now.
ORIGINAL
SHOOP.
>>15101336
tweet this to Mitsubishi and tell them you fixed their car's looks.
>>15101336
Now do a maddd ralliart EVO version
>>15101331
>>15101336
>less cabin space
>less trunk space
>>15101395
>buying a small sedan for trunk space
>>15101395
Why not getting the hatch then?
>>15096659
Wait, this isn't a Mitsubishi Mirage.
What is it then?
>>15099616
Ironically no regulation on blocking visibility of the road apparently.
Also fuck people who put things up blocking visibility of corners.
>>15099713
>>15099690
burgerfuckers and curryniggers seem to think it's more classy if it has a distinct bootlid, for some unfathomable reason
>>15096692
Sick brembos brembro
>>15100199
Looks better
>>15096659
Fiat always does it better.
>>15096628
we seein some shit we aint never seen before kid
a BABY FUCKEN WHEEL MAN
>>15104295
>Fiat
A pity. It looked rather nice, too. Something I'd have considered if I were a displacement-taxed Yuropoo.
>>15099713
The hatch looks better but comes in awful colours. Most I see come in that purple/pink and are driven by girls.
Oddly enough, they're usually driving the manual.
>>15101633
>not liking sedans
it looks different when I look it up on their site..also did they revise the mirage..looks better
>>15101336
Send this to mitsubitchi. I'd probably consider this for a commuterbox if it existed
>>15098795
>only 2% of all people disapprove of the current design trends
source on this claim?

Credit where credit is due, at least the color palette on them isn't just a gray scale.
And the blue, known as Sapphire, is really pretty.

Bigger wheels cost more money. So if the company gutted its design and R&D departments to save money and meet target goals that year, great. But then there is no innovation ability left. In such a case, the only way to improve both efficiency and cost for the next year is to make the wheels smaller. That's a hack and will displease consumers, but it forces the cost onto the consumers who then buy a the one size larger rim and tires. But that at least means the customer pays the cost and not Mitsubishi Motors. Thus, the managers met their cost targets with the stupid hack job as they were unable to invent their way out due to cut staffing.
