JustPaus_88TSi Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 And that would cost $70K+. It's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistapickles Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I talked to Mitsubishi and they said it will never happen. The guy actually referred me to the Hyundai Genesis Coupe... I posted a thread asking people if they'd like to see a Mitsubishi rendered concept car for a 2010 Starion and gave the Mitsubishi representative a copy of the link so that he could see that there was genuine interest in a new Starion. To put it mildly, it was a cluster...after the guy monitored the thread for a while he wouldn't even return my calls about just getting a concept drawing... I think the main problem is back in the 80's it was categorized as a luxury sports car, selling for $20,000 when most cars sold for $8000. While most of the people that currently own them are in the Mustang and Camaro range, a new Starion would be in the range JustPaus_88TSI just quoted and nobody is buying a $70k Mitsubishi, nobody. Mitsubishi would have to come up with a luxury line like Toyota did with Lexus, or Nissan did with Infinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubya Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 People bought up the $75K Nissan so why wouldn't they buy a $70K Mitsu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Because it's a Skyline. The comparative street cred associated with a SQ isn't even in the same league. The name recognition isn't there, the history isn't there and to put it plainly, Mitsu doesn't have the ability to produce such a car. Quite frankly, i'd be shocked if they didn't completely screw it up by turning it into something for "everyone". It'd be a RX8 type four door with a NA V6 or something.

BC_99 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I agree, not enough starquest friendly people to make it worth while for mitsu. If you are in a hurry to drop $70k into a quest, do it to the one you already own and then you will probably have the nicest and fastest quest ever built. Plenty of custom and resto shops to do all of the things you are talking about. So do it, and retro-fit it to your car. BC_99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistapickles Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Well Mitsubishi had the street cred back in the late 80's early 90's, but 80% of the people from 30 years old and down don't even know what the hell our cars are, so it's long gone. And agreed, it would be some lame hybrid between a race car and a grocery getter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 About the only way I see the Starion name used on a car again, is if they slap it on a limited edition Eclipse or EVO. It wouldn't be a whole new car, and the Conquest name surely wouldn't get used. Even this scenerio is a LONG shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travs87tsi Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 if mitsubishi did come out with a more luxury line like the lexus, acura or infinity what name would be fitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoolinturbo Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 being classified as luxery sports has nothing to do with it, same category as the mkiii supra. The problem is although the starion was the flagship at the time, it was just a draft for the eclipse/evo that mitsubishi has a lot of time and r&d into. Starion sales in the 80's don't justify a new model. I think they love the nostalgia but want to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89PalermoSHP Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 i want the new starion to have an sti wing. that and red lines around the tires. maybe even neon underlights stock equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallblock12 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 i think that pic that was posted was something artinist had put of and if you want to spend 70k you could easily make your car 100% new and have it look like you want it.

Killtodie Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT IDEAIF YOU CONTINUE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS MAYBE SOMEONE WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT someone with lots of money should build like a race spec starion or something.
