Mitsubishi automotive designer Akinori Nakanishi likens the company's new Mitsubishi i to an iPod Nano on wheels, down to the bright colors. (A deluxe version comes with a docking port for a Nano and a satellite navigation system.) Mini design might sound like dull work-tight budgets, less room for bells and whistles-but Nakanishi says his team welcomed the challenge of coloring within the lines. "It's like baseball," he says...
