eeek

we use to own a 70's colt as a bush basher, it was RWD just like the lancer of those days. it was quite a good car and very strong.

a mate also has a 83 colt as a second car, efi turbo with about 82kw and stuff all weight. It gives a few people out there a fright when this bunky ass peice of crap blows them away.

hah my auntie used to have one it was the worst car ive ever seen, it was such a crap box and that was 10yrs ago.

haha.. i passed my driving test in my bf's mums '88 Colt - it was her shitty runabout...probably why she let me drive it...

as for that new one, would be ok if you're after that sort of thing I guess, and "under consideration a high performance turbo model" umm can't wait..

ugh that's horrible, they should've left it dead.

They have been out for a while here...alot of these small cars are for markets which have very big population compared to Australia small 17Mil people....which is why they make alot of sense. I probably prefer the EK wagon Sports, but then perhaps you guys or Australia haven't come around to the styling or concept of small cars yet.

There will always be a Colt model and was always going to be revived, it is one of MMC pioneering models going back 1962 IIRC. If every maker killed off a model because of poor sales or design of one model we wouldn't see anymore of them...falcons, commodores etc...

Shell, I beleive the turbo version is the concept Colt Spider and the Colt Evo but it may only be primarily used for rally.

Do they still burn the same amount of oil as petrol? i know my mate used to take his colt to the servo and ask them to fill it with oil more often than petrol

exactly...look at the current field and you will know why...shorter wheelbase, quicker for getting power to the ground.

Great another she box on the road!!

[lwells]

I think it looks OK (certainly better than the Magna!). Its recieved very positive reviews too (both here and overseas).

LW.

It's the replacement for the Mirage.

Smart ForFour and ForFour SUV = Colt underneath...so it's not a bad car for the target market which is traffic congested Asiand and European countries.
