August 19, 2005 - Mitsubishi keeps teasing us with images of its new Sportback concept. First, the company released a few sketches of the car. Shortly after that, Mitsubishi released a teaser photo of the car. Now, more teaser shots of the car. As you can tell, it looks great. It's just too bad that we know absolutely nothing about the car.

With every press release for the Mitsubishi Sportback that is released, there are only about two sentences of text on the car. The first sentence states that the Sportback will make its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and the second sentence claims that the car is Mitsubishi's vision for the future of its C-segment cars.

As with most European C-segment concept vehicles, the Sportback looks totally sweet. Once again, we are jealous of the small cars that are available in Europe. This 5-door hatch looks sleek, menacing and elegant -- all at once.

As this concept has hood vents and a massive grill, we can only hope that this concept will get a bitchin' turbocharged engine under the hood. We don't need to see a brand-new and revolutionary engine for this car, if we see the powertrain from the LanEvo in this car, we'll be very happy.

Again, the Sportback is set to make its debut in Germany, and it is designed to show the future of Mitushibishi's vision for its European line-up. But with a car that looks this good, we gotta wonder if the Sportback concept is destined for U.S. shores as well. It would be a shame if this car never makes it here.

If it does, and as this is a C-segment four door car, we wonder what car the Sportback would replace? Would this be the new Eclipse? Or if it does get an turbocharged all-wheel drive powertrain, might this be the next generation of Lancer Evolution?
