The new RVR that will be released in Japan next spring is nothing like past Mitsus wearing the moniker, a model we knew here as the Expo LRV. The RVR shares the Mitsu family&#8217;s nose and physique, though the compact body is being described by officials as lightweight. <\/p>\n<p>When it launches in Japan, the RVR will carry a 1.8 liter four-cylinder, and the MIVEC engine figures to keep the appetite for fuel in check. Mitsubishi is staggering the RVR&#8217;s rollout, so its spring 2010 arrival in Japanese showrooms will be first, but North American sales are promised eventually. From where we sit, the RVR and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/02\/mitsubishi-colt-is-coming-to-america\/\">Colt<\/a> are two bits of triple-diamond excitement to look forward to in the coming year, especially if the company goes all Ralliart-crazy on both.
