Mitsubishi is apparently looking to bolster its model lineup with a brand new compact sedan for 2015.
At the brand's regional dealer meetings held during the first two weeks of April, dealers were shown a rendering of the car that could be based on the G4 Concept unveiled in Bangkok in March.
“Mitsubishi is looking into introducing a small, entry-level sedan to the United States market, and while we continue to study the market trend and demand for this smaller-segment sedan, we have not come to a concrete decision on when this model may make the U.S. showroom,” a company spokesman said in a statement.
According to Scott Grove, who owns two Mitsubishi dealerships near Chicago, this teaser is the latest sign of a recovery for Mitsubishi, which will launch the redesigned Outlander crossover this summer, followed by the new Mirage small car later in 2013 and a plug-in hybrid Outlander next year.
