that's pretty bad, but since chrysler is pulling the plug, after many years of being affiliated with mitsubishi, does that mean no neon srt-4 anymore???? If i'm correct, isn't the srt-4's motor a version of the mitsubishi's motor? If this is the case, chrysler wouldn't have the right to build that motor, meaning dodge would have to develop their own motor? That would be great to see the srt-4 gone lol, yes I do not like that car.

I saw that this morning too. Hopefully they can find some more capital shortly so they can continue making cars. Where would the STi's competition be without the EVO???

true true, that rivalry has been around for quite awhile, it would be sad to see it go, and the rivalry has just gotten started stateside.

Yeah, but why would you want to throw money at one arm of the corp. that isn't profitable? That's why Chrysler got out, and I don't know of many people that will give capital to a company that consistantly loses money. It'd be sad to see them go, but unless something radical changes fast, I don't know what's going to save them...

No, I don't Mitsu will buy their shares back. The reason they are in this whole mess is because they aren't making money, thus not really giving them money to buy the shares back.

Maybe Subaru should buy some Mitsu shares
