Car Forum / Mitsubishi Cars / October 2007one born every minute...or smart cookie with present rebates etc?
Mitsubishi was having American market problems. I just purchased a 2007 Outlander and I'm quite amazed at it's performance level. I think it is a super vehicle, so can't understand why Mitsu not competive? What's the latest word on MMC? Is there still danger of losing it's American market? That could bode ill for warranty service etc...right? I'm a former Daewoo and Renault[USA] owner as well. So go figure. Am I one of those feller's that PT Barnum talked about? So what's the beef with Mitsu anyway? > Mitsubishi was having American market problems. I just purchased a 2007 > Outlander and I'm quite amazed at it's performance level.

You can be almost certain that MMC will crash and burn in the up and coming worldwide recession/depression. They are doing badly in other markets as well. The sorry c.nts will pack up their bags and run back to Tokyo, most likely leaving scores of workers jobless and in danger of losing their homes. I would like to see Mahindra or TATA buy the tooling and production line facilities and rationalize to just one or two models. One of those models should be a utility vehicle suitable to carry workers and their shovels, farmers and their produce etc. As performance is not a high priority it can be powered by a cow manure methane producer unit. The other model should be a very low cost single seater car which can be manufactured cheaply and sold through bicycle shops. > That could bode ill for warranty service etc...right?

There's a huge supply of Mitsubishi parts in the auto wreckers of the world. It should be possible to keep the world's fleet of Mitsushitties going for at least a year. > I would like to see Mahindra or TATA buy the tooling and production line > facilities and rationalize to just one or two models. Don't think that those Rover-look-alike scrap firms will do nothing but be absorbed by some chinese producer. Mahindra simply produces old Land Rover replicas and Tata is lucky if produces Fiat clones. Again, Bhagat, tell us what sort of lemon do you drive and get us rid of you. >> Mitsubishi was having American market problems.

Hey, weren't we in aus.cars going to do that? If I recall correctly it was going to have a small block V8 auto as the only driveline option, RWD, separate chassis, and floor mounted headlight dipper switch.

Umm. Google the word "motorcycle" you might be pleasantly surprised. >> I would like to see Mahindra or TATA buy the tooling and production line >> facilities and rationalize to just one or two models. > > Hey, weren't we in aus.cars going to do that?

Don't forget - running straight LPG. > One of those models >> should be a utility vehicle suitable to carry workers and their shovels, [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Umm.

No, we voted down the moron who wanted a floor mounted dipper switch. The rest of us are capable of using our fingers to flick the blinker stalk without losing control of the steering. :-)  SignatureAthol <http://cust.idl.com.au/athol> Linux Registered User # 254000 I'm a Libran Engineer.

Google the word "motorcycle" you might be pleasantly surprised. Motorcycles have only two wheels. The lack of four wheels would disenfranchise the elderly and infirm (Mitsubishi's primary target demographic if you ignore the generation Y w.nker demographic). It takes quite a bit of physical effort to keep a two wheeled vehicle upgright when parking. Four wheels handles better and safer than two on wheels as well. >> Umm.

I feel that you don't appreciate this work, but that is OK. I don't have an ex-wife, the current one is still operating robustly thank you, although a re-sleeve will probably be a worthwhile job some time in the future. > I am performing an unpaid public service.

It would seem that Mitsubishi are as unloved in other parts of the world as they are down here :) -- Regards, Noddy. >> I am performing an unpaid public service.

The FTO was sweet, the Lancer EVO and VR4 Galants have high regard. And some people even seem to like the w.nker (I mean pajero). But they also had some absolute dogs. Part of their problem is that they outlasted the worst of the competition. If the country was still littered with detritus like Triumph Stags, Leylands, (anything British really) Yugos, Ladas, Goggomobiles and Lightburn Zetas, then the 380 wouldn't seem so bad. > I don't have an ex-wife, the current one is still operating > robustly thank you, although a re-sleeve will probably be a > worthwhile job some time in the future. It's obvious to us that her problem is with the piston being sub-standard in all manner of operational parameters :) John |
