Mitsubishi tests new small car in U.S

Mitsubishi, eager to expand its U.S. lineup, is testing a small car in California.

Two i cars arrived in March and will be driven in the Los Angeles area. The i car is sold in Japan.

"We will drive it to get customers' comments," says Hiroshi Harunari, the new boss of Mitsubishi Motors North America Inc. "We will study things like which size engine is suitable for the U.S."

Harunari did not say when or if the i car would come to this country, but he says it has possibilities. It has a major shortcoming for U.S. drivers: a tiny 660cc turbocharged engine. It sells in Japan for $11,142 and gets about 40 mpg. It would join a growing budget-car segment that includes the Chevrolet Aveo, three Scion nameplates, and the Honda Fit and Nissan Versa, which both go on sale this spring.
