This features an all-new 1.8-liter MIVEC four cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

Mitsubishi will likely use a 2.4-liter engine for North American models.

With the career shift she made, you’ll wonder how Catalina White survived and thrived. She used to be a glamor model but became a wrestler for the WWE. That’s like driving your lowered Impala from the asphalt road to the Mojave desert. Think about it, she went from being pampered and beautified to having other chicks drop kick and clothesline her. But she became successful both in modeling and in wrestling, so if you could compare her to a car, she’d be like a Volvo XC90, a Porsche Cayenne, and an Audi Q7 – all crossover champs!
