Colt wins "Golden Steering Wheel"

Ã¢â‚¬â€ Prestigious German automobile award Ã¢â‚¬â€

COLT (produced in Europe)

Tokyo, November 11, 2004 Ã¢â‚¬â€ Mitsubishi Motors Corporation announced that the company's 5-door Colt compact car produced in Europe was awarded the coveted "Das Goldene Lenkrad" (Golden Steering Wheel) by the German Sunday newspaper "Bild am Sonntag," published by Axel Springer AG. The European Colt was presented the award for its status as the "Best in Class One (Small Car category)" in a ceremony held in Berlin on November 10 and attended by some 400 representatives of political and financial circles, print and TV media and the world of sport.
Colt becomes the fourth Mitsubishi Motors model to win the Golden Steering Wheel award, fol-lowing the Galant (Japanese name: Galant-Sigma) in the mid-size category in 1984, the Colt (Japanese name: Mirage) in the small car category in 1988, and the Pajero (Shogun in U.K.) in the off-road category in 1992.

Mitsubishi Motors' Chairman and CEO Yoichiro Okazaki had the following to say about the award: "I am delighted that Colt has been presented the Golden Steering Wheel, an award distinguished by its long history and prestigious status. The Colt series will play a vital role in the continued growth of Mitsubishi Motors operations in Europe, which moved into the black for the first time in the 2003 fiscal year. In bestowing high critical acclaim to Colt's product qualities, the award will serve to boost the morale not only of personnel working in our European operations but also of everyone in the Mitsubishi Motors group of companies that is currently in the process of regenerating its op-erational base."

The jury cited the quality of workmanship, versatility, seating comfort, space offering, operating comfort, cost performance and excellent road performance as the key factors in its decision to award Colt the Golden Steering Wheel.

Seen by many as the equivalent of a German Car of the Year award, the coveted Golden Steering Wheel was first presented in 1976 and this year celebrates its 29th anniversary. With a readership of 10.7 million, the Bild am Sonntag boasts the largest circulation for a Sunday newspaper in Europe and is way ahead of other similar publications in terms of popularity and influence. All new models launched on the German market during that year are considered by the Golden Steering Wheel jury which presents the award to the "Best Car" in each of several categories such as small size, mid-size and large size. In the Small Car category, Colt held off competition from such top sellers as the smart forfour, Renault Modus, Fiat Idea, Peugeot 1007, Lancia Musa and the Kia Picanto. The jury's vote bears testimony to the high critical acclaim accorded Colt in Germany, a country that is as stringent in its assessment of automobiles as Japan.

The award-winning European Colt is produced at Mitsubishi Motors' subsidiary NedCar in Born, the Netherlands. The series had its European launch in May this year and recently added 1.1L gasoline and diesel versions to its line up. In a move designed to further expand sales in Europe, the company plans to bring the 3-door Colt CZ3 and the 150 PS turbocharged Colt CZT per-formance model to market in early 2005.

Prior to its Golden Steering Wheel accolade, the European Colt was voted "Car of the Year in Denmark 2005" by the Danish Automotive Journalists Club and "Compact Car of the Year 2004" by the Kampioen magazine published the Dutch automobile association, ANWB.

Yup mudah2an aja setting harganya jg dibawah Jazz(you never know what is in there mind) kalo situasi sudah kepepet.
Strategy nya bisa2 nekat,dan mgk itu pilihan terbaik di tengah kompetisi yg sangat ketat gini..

Mudah2an ada miracle untuk group mitsu seperti yg terjadi pada Nissan dalam tahun2 kedepan!
Sayang sekali klo pemegang world relly,paris dakkar ini harus tenggelam gara2 kesalahan segelintir manager,yg mencoreng reputasi teknology mitsubishi di mata car enthusiast!

Gw juga belum dapet info mengenai COLT ini. Dan berdasarkan info dari pihak KTB, mereka hanya meluncurkan MAVEN dan GRANDIS saja. Semoga di Gaikindo pertengahan tahun ini mereka memasukkan COLT juga. Mungkin kalo COLT jadi masuk, Jazz akan bener2 kalang kabut dan setelah itu Honda menghadirkan Jazz versi Vtec nya.

Spt biasa ... CR-V 2.0 versus X-TRAIL 2.5 ... Honda langsung keluarin CR-V 2.4

Oke bos, gw juga kadang cari info terbaru line-up Mitsu dari majalah2.

Tenang aja, kasih mereka waktu untuk memperbaiki managementnya. Yang pasti mereka tidak akan bangkrut. Kalo liat2 keluar, Mitsu luar ngga separah di Indo koq. Mereka masih ikut WRC, Paris Dakkar, dan event2 balap GT dengan LANCER HKS blacknya.

Ya ampun ... bung handling ...

baru tau sekarang ya ?

Emang sih udah dari dulu masuk lewat IU. Sesudah Fit, ngga lama Colt juga masuk. Cuma populasinya emang super dikit.

Mungkin harganya mahal bgt.

Gw pernah baca modifikasi Colt warna merah (udah lama). Terus gw pernah liat beberapa kali di Bdg yang berkelir merah dan silver. Emang jarang banget.
