LOS ANGELES - With Japan’s Mitsubishi saving most of its 2011 auto show goodies for next month’s Tokyo show, here in L.A., the quickly-becoming-a-niche automaker rolled out a "woody version of its iMiEV electric car (now available in Canada for $32,998), and an almost three-year old concept.

I find it a funny looking car because of the back design. I know it's part of the luxury or sports car series and it should cost more than a beetle car.
