I don't know exactly when this trend started, but when the heck did car companies decide that their customers wanted Element, Chevy Avalance, MINI, and this new Mitsubishi thing. . . . ?
It is ugly and cheap looking (even on the MINI!)

Since things have gone sour with the Fiat relationship and the quality of the cars is not really up to par (Italian cars have the lowest reliability of any other European auto powerhouse), then things don't look too promising.
I'll believe it when I see it.
