Concept ZT "Future Galant" Cancelled

I know this is old but sad news from Mitsubishi. It seems that the Concept ZT has no future.

Cost was certainly a factor in cancelling the car. The Concept-ZT used an aluminum spaceframe body and the advanced S-AWC all-wheel-drive system lifted straight from a Lancer Evolution. Although Autocar suggests the firm had investigated using a steel body and two-wheel-drive, Mitsubishi still says it can’t create a sound business case.

maybe another reason is its yet another shark-looking front. it's getting too redundant na

Probably the shape... yes

But the Concept ZT seems to reminisce the old Shark looking Galant.

Or maybe, they find it too small to compete against the Accord and Camry?

+1

the shark front is too strong a feature to be repeated, no? Unlike, say, BMW's grill which is kind of subtle yet expressive of the identity and doesn't bother everybody if they repeat it on all their cars.
