    OK, but...

    All looks fine, but why do manufacturers feel it's a good idea to take the underpinnings of a practical four or five door car, turn it into a "coupe" and charge more for it? So what do you get less seats and less space, with a more porwefull engine to compensate. Why not put the more powerful engine and sportier suspension in the five door? Cake. Eat it.

    This is after all Mitsubishi who years ago took the relatively mundane Lancer and turned it into the GSR EVO, a saloon capable of demolishing most sports cars. Did they feel the need to remove the back seats? Did they call it a coupe? No they just made it uglier, which was, it turns out, a damn fine move.

    The whole 'leccy thing? It's all been said a million times over, hasn't it?

    That dashboard and organic steering wheel look deliciously different.

    Fingerprint magnets f'sh'wah, though.
