We've been waiting... And waiting... And waiting... And now the wait is finally over, as the all-new 2012 Mitsubishi i is finally here! Well, not here at Hickory Mitsubishi exactly, but the all-electric model has started shipping to select markets in the United States. What's more, reports are even claiming that the new Mitsubishi model is everything that we hoped it would be, and then some!

What does that mean? Up until now, there has been a lot of hype surrounding the new Mitsubishi i. Various publications and automotive critics have been praising the EV in advance of its release, and naturally there have been some skeptics. But, nevertheless, Mitsubishi more than lived up to its name of quality and efficiency in crafting the i.

Specifically, it boasts a combined MPGe (Miles Per Gallon Equivalent) rating of 126 MPGe city/99 MPGe highway. That's high enough to earn the swift little hatch the number one spot on the EPA's list of "Fuel Economy Leaders: 2012 Model Year." And, starting at 29,125, the 2012 Mitsubishi i ranks in as the most affordable electric vehicle in America.
