    Cool Mitsubishi i Car

    Has anyone seen this car? I randomly saw one yesterday while driving and thought it was a very cool looking car! Too bad it's not sold in the US (not sure how that person got it), otherwise I'd definitely consider getting it!

    You can buy those things really cheap right now. If the replacement battery didn't cost more than the car, they would be tempting...

    That's if you can get a replacement battery!

    i-Miev is the electric version. The i is gas. They look pretty much the same from what I can tell.

    Mitsubishi did not produce a ICE version of the i-Miev. Could you have spotted one of these? Scion I Q. They are pretty rare sightings.

    Neither did I. Now I'm intrigued.

    I had a guy charging his by my work. It looked like a hard boiled egg. I pulled my green avocado up and we both had a laugh about our ridiculous cars. He said he did the research and the battery in his model was just as reliable as any Toyota model.
