Mitsubishi has gone on the credit crunch offensive, and lopped up to £5,000 off its car prices.

All Colt three and five-door superminis are now £1,000 cheaper, and the cuts get bigger as the cars get larger, ending in a whopping £5,000 saving on the price of a mighty Shogun off-roader long-wheelbase model.

The money-off deals end on September 30.
