TATA Nano Spotted in CT

[xhxxkxxdx]

My buddy sent me this pic from the CTsubie forum. We look to the right and what in the hell is that? This pic was taken in Manchester CT. Am i wrong or is that a TATA?

[Benkennedy11]

Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

[windycityvdub]

Yes, you are wrong, that is not a Tata Nano. It's a Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

Also, WRX is fugly.

[TooFitToQuit]

Who cares? That Subaru is sweet.

[xhxxkxxdx]

wow that was quick

[mike02467]

That WRX is hideous.

[windycityvdub]

I was going to make a comment on the fact that there are 3 CRVs parked next to each other, but then saw an Accord and a Civic in the background, so I guess this is a dealership. Google tells me the only Honda/Mitsu dealer in that area is in New Britian, not Manchester.

P.S. the Mitsu is on the right of the Subie.

[MRVW00]

I'd rather masturbate with a cheese grater than drive that Subie.

[junk87gti]

that looks like the pic was taken Manchester Honda one of the biggest Honda dealerships new england

i dunno about that. I'd probably just get it REALLY muddy, and then never wash it.

[VW2SRT2VT]

The WRX makes my Neon look great.

EVERYONE IS WRONG.


That is NOT an i-MiEV...













It's called a Mitsubishi i in the US. Just "i," no MiEV.





Losers, all of you. How did you not know that?!?! Pathetic...

Dunno that doesn't look like the Manchester Honda lot it would be more crowded plus there is a glass divider that would be running between some of those lines of cars.

[Inspector Detector]

I've already spotted three Miev's already. Although 2 were parked in a dealers lot. I wonder if Mitsubishi is having better luck at selling them than Nissan is having with their Leaf?

Shortly after being named the EPA's fuel economy leader2, the 100% electric Mitsubishi i was recognized as "The Greenest Vehicle of 2012" by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. Thanks to an astonishing 112 combined MPGe, this EV is the most efficient car in production—beating the Nissan Leaf and, well, every hybrid or gas car in America.

The numbers are in — the Mitsubishi i is the most affordable electric vehicle in the entire United States1. And considering there's a host of federal and state tax incentives for EV drivers, it's never been easier on the budget to own an electric car (and especially this one) than it is right now.

Offering more than just peace of mind, the Mitsubishi i's impressive battery warranty sends a clear message to the automotive world that EVs can (and should) be held to the same quality standards as their gas-reliant counterparts.

(btw, that website is horrible... Poor Mistubishi...)

If that WRX was stanced this thread would already be 5 pages long.

Ok, you're just askin' for it...

Mitsubishi may not be known as an EV innovator here in the States, but the brand has a history of dabbling in small, electrically powered cars back in Japan. In 2009, the automaker rolled out the electrified version of its i micro car, called the i-MiEV, in its home market. A year later, the i-MiEV made it to Europe. Now, it's finally our turn, and Mitsubishi has simplified the name and blown up the car's proportions to suit American tastes. But even with the changes, is the U.S. ready for a small, underpowered, and range-limited EV? No matter which side of the fence you're on regarding the future of transportation, electric cars are here -- and it's our job to test them. So test the Mitsubishi i we did.

Known here as the Mitsubishi i (powered by MiEV technology), the U.S.-spec version gets a stretched body that's 4.3 inches wider and 8 inches longer than its Japanese and European counterparts.

And now you've got me bringin' Wiki into this:

The first fleet and individual customer deliveries in the U.S. took place in December 2011.[7][8] Mitsubishi initially announced a base price of US$27,990, but in September 2011 raised the base price to US$29,125 plus the destination charge and prior to the federal tax credit and other incentives available in California and other states.[9][93] The American version of the Mitsubishi i-MiEV was unveiled at the November 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show.[94] During the LA show, Mitsubishi announced it decided to drop the "MiEV" from the name and the US version will be named simply as "i" electric vehicle.[95][96]

Your source is from 2010 and is outdated. Mitsu has since gone back to the long form name.

I see no confirmation of this in that article, just a confused InsideLine. Proceed with further evidence, sir!

5 pages, here we come...

All I see is a car, given to the press by Mitsu, being called by its long form name. Mitsu would clearly not want its car to be called an improper name. Also, if you look closely, the long form name is written on the car itself.

In addition, let me redirect you again to the official page of the car, not some minisite created at the car's introduction.

I refuse to capitulate and acknowledge your win.



I will now write a letter to Mitsubishi corporate.

I own Mitsubishi, and specifically renamed it because there weren't enough references to its electric abilities. I saw the Tahoe Hybrid and thought, "wow, they're doing it right".


P.S. I'm in Music City for this thing called higher education, you might not have heard of it. I'm studying electric car naming conventions.

P.S.S. I'm buying a car next week, and it's not a VW. So then my username will be uber-relevant.
