Mitsubishi Previews Angular DST Concept, Global Production Version to Follow

Mitsubishi revealed a boxy, three-row concept at the Philippine International Motor Show this week, stating that the car would eventually spawn a production model intended for global sale. While this means slotting the vehicle into lineups that are already biased toward crossovers, the company has enjoyed decent success doing this in the past.

Frank There’s a continuance of polluting the natural environment with a business as usual attitude. Societally, we still discharge out of elevated exhaust pipes, smoke stacks and, quite consequentially, from sky-high jet engines like it’s all absorbed into the natural environment without repercussion. Out of sight, out of mind.Here in the West, many drivers of superfluously huge and over-powered thus gas-guzzling vehicles seem to consider it a basic human right, perhaps because it's an extension of their phallic ego. It may scare those drivers just to contemplate a world in which they can no longer readily fuel that extension, especially since much quieter electric cars are for them no substitute. I’ll see parked vehicles idling for many minutes in moderate weather temperatures. There'll also be the odd choking-thick-exhaust-spewing vanity vehicle, a metallic beast with the signature gratuitously very large body and wheels that don’t at all appear intended for work or family transport. They look like they may get 30 gallons to the mile. And when parked roadside they hazardously block the view of low-car operators turning or crossing through stop-signed intersections.Inside each is the operator, typically staring down into their lap, probably their smartphones. They may be some of the people posting protestations onto various social-media platforms about a possible gas price increase, however comparatively small.Meanwhile, Canada’s carbon tax manages to induce shrill complaints here, especially by the corporate news-media — even though it’s more than recouped (except for high-income earners) via federal government rebate. The disturbing mass addiction to fossil fuel products by the larger public undoubtedly helps keep the average consumer quiet about the planet’s greatest polluter, lest the consumer be deemed hypocritical.
Jonathan I like the looks. I remember the Scout II from IH when I was a kid. But I'm not even remotely interested in an EV or anything from VW. So no thanks.

Lou_BC The Scout Traveler is okay but it's just another boxy SUV in a crowded market. The Terra pickup I really like. Put a small diesel in it and I'd be interested. No range with batteries. It won't go where I'd want it to go.
Lou_BC Watching one video, the dude doesn't know how to wheel. A toy bought and built on a whim.
