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. :)

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..

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.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
