i-MiEV Sport Air Concept at the 2012 New York Auto Show | Inhabitat For me this is bittersweet; after all these years, the Sport Air is still just a "concept car." Inhabitat did a report on the Sport Air in 2006. Their final comment at that time was: I really like this car, but it's been dangled out in front of us for 6+ years now with no commitment by Mitsubishi to produce it. The indecision and teasing got old long ago. I think its about time that Mitsubishi put-up or shut-up on the Sport Air.

Saw it and got to ride in it's bigger brother, the four door model. To me it was more comfortable than a smart car, mini-Cooper...or that Fiat thing. And the price was favorable after Federal tax credit.
