it actually does share the same platform, chassis, engine, ect as mitsu's sedan
its the same kind of car as the monte carlo or taurus SHO or something.
if mitsu wants it to be performance, it needs to make it about 600lbs lighter, and put in a completely different engine, suspension. whether its FWD, AWD or RWD is not a big deal. they could do it with any setup. they wont make it like they used to because the evo fills that gap in their lineup now.
but if rumor is true, mitsubishi is pulling out of america completely in a few years...
