The 2006 Mitsubishi Raider pickup, available in club and crew cabs. Based on the Dodge Dakota, using the same line-up of engines. I think I like this version better than the Dodge.

Looks like a mix of a Ranger and a Colorado.
They should have swapped the steering wheel, the Mitsu badge looks so out of place on it.
In a couple of months this will likely be the best midsize truck deal out there, and, unlike other Mitsubishis, you won't have to worry about parts not being available.
You have to give them credit. They could have just slapped a Mitsubishi badge on it and call it a day. Instead they gave it a pretty distinctive look.
TBR, I doubt it will ever be a great value, sticker pricing will probably be too high for it to become a great value even with incentives.
Yep, they did more work than Isuzu bothered to do with the Ascender and i-series.
Nice looker 'cept for the odd front.

It will have to be a great value for Mitsubishi to sell any of them so that is what it'll be.
Its pretty funny...pretty funny looking :D :D
That front end looks terrible. The rear 3/4 view is great, but the front... it looks like an obese koala bear robot or something.
Although I like the front end thats normally a sign that it wont echo with the mainstream public.
I like the front end, but it looks like a rabbit that has one tooth sticking out :lol:

Selling its products has never appeared to be a concern for Mitsu before. Too many of its other cars need price advantages to sell too, and don't have them. Lancer and Montero spring immidiately to mind, the Galant and Endeavor can be added to the roster not because they don't deserve to command decent prices but because they need to appeal to shallow-minded consumers.

Not quite sure that you finished your statement their, but the Galant at least is selling for well under sticker.
No, the Galant isn't selling. And even under sticker, it still has no price advantage over even an Accord or Camry, which are also selling under sticker.
Okay, I guess Mitsubishi is run by a bunch of bozos, a Galant GTS-V6 is "worth" just $1000 under msrp.

Which just happens to be ugly as hell. :blink:
I like this truck a lot. It looks fantastic to me. It would be my first choice for a mid sized pickup.

I actually think it looks pretty good. And no matter what, it will probably help sales. A truck couldn't hurt anything.

I agree. I like it better than the Dodge Dakota it is based on.
