As at any auto show, there are concept cars and there are "concept cars." Some concepts are their just as eye candy and a workout for designers oddest fantasies (many of this variety of concept are actually edible). Other concepts exist to prepare the press and public for a production vehicle. The Mitsubishi concept with the really unfortunate name, the ZT, is of the latter variety. It is a styling concept for the next-generation Mitsubishi large sedan.

This vehicle is known as the Galant. Don't hold your breathe though. You'll have to live with the unloved current car for a while longer. Mitsubishi is also using this vehicle as a place to feature the company's newest technologies including a new clean-diesel 2.2-liter motor, dual-clutch SST transmission and an electronic limited slip differential. --Daniel Pund, Senior Editor, Detroit, Inside Line

I love it. I think it's beautiful as hell.

It's a little Volvo/ Audi-ish but it's a attractive. The new Galant perhaps?

I'm praying the new Galant will look like this. The current Galant is FUGLY.

Isn’t naming a saloon the ZT bad karma?

This is the Concept ZT – but it will be the replacement for the Galant in the US and Japan. There are currently no plans to bring the Galant back to Europe, but if you like the look of this concept, Mitsubishi could be persuaded.

The promotional film accompanying its unveiling was shot in Europe, so maybe that’s a clue. It’s a remarkably clean, unfussy design, with little complicated detailing or surfacing, and it shares the stronger new Mitsu face with the CX crossover concept shown aat Frankfurt. We like it. The problem is its size; at nearly five metres it’s longer than an A6, and Mitsu doesn’t think it has the brand image to support a big, premium car. Let us – and them – know if you think otherwise.

Stratched Lancer, a typical today's Mitsu look

I just saw the rear. Not very pretty

It really isn't a bad looking thing actually. It couldn't possibly be any worse than the current Galant or last Diamante.
