Maybe they can sell $667,000,000 worth of EVO's to make up for just this years loss.

If they use Hawaii's pricing schedule that's like what... 8 cars?

"Mitsubishi Motors’ image never recovered after it acknowledged four years ago that it had systematically hidden auto defects for decades and announced a massive recall"

i wonder if subaru is smelling the blood. . .
just spoke to my friend yusuke last night- he was saying that even with mistus new mr coming out they are still sinking. he says the general "concensus" in japan is that mitsubishis are crap cars.

Mitsubishi Motors has little to do with the welfare of Mitsubishi the conglomerate methinks.

i thought that since Evo's are selling pretty good over here, Japan would be the same.

Guess they screwed up pretty big with what happened 4 years ago.

You would think that Hawaii's dealers could bring them out of that heap.

Very true. The only decent selling cars are the Lancer series (Evolution and Cedia/Cedia Turbo especially), and the FTO (God bless that little car's soul).

As long as they don't go back to making fighter planes

BTW, another Mitsubishi fun fact: the Eclipse (only the first and second generation; the current model is a home-grown American vee-hick-ull) was one of the worst selling Japanese sportcars of all time (possibly only less crappy than the Hino Contessa). There was no use for a heavy front-wheel drive coupe in a country where the Lancer Evolution and FTO took care of things just fine.
