Even though Mitsubishi's i MIEV press conference wasn't until today, that didn't stop the manufacturer from driving its prototype electric car around the Javits Convention Center yesterday, parking it in front of competing manufacturers' "green vehicle" displays.
In the photo above, the i MIEV is hanging out at the Toyota Highlander Fuel Cell Hybrid display.
With the silence of the car's motor and the background noise of near-constant press conferences, it seemed as if every time you turned around you'd find that the i MIEV had snuck up from behind.
The i MIEV is based on the gas-powered JDM Mitsubishi i subcompact, which is currently on sale in Japan...
In addition to the standard i MIEV, Mitsubishi will also be officially showing a restyled Sport version, and a clean-diesel subcompact SUV, the Concept-cX. Stay tuned. -- Brady Holt, Student Journalist

Pretty sneaky way to steal some attention.
It's only news if it'll be sold here, though.
