Mistubishi motors is in trouble as I recall. It is the American version of Mitsubishi corp. which makes all those billion and one nifty gadgets. Mitsubishi is not as small as people think. The sales in North America are what is killing the company as stated from an article I read. The company is already being bailed out by the larger company so don't worry the cars won't disapear. Might be a good change for the company anyway because now they don't have the strings attached to them and can make what they feel the consumers want instead of what their previous owners tell them too....who knows maybe we'll see another 3000gt (not the new eclipse which tried to be an eclipse 3000gt hybrid that failed) or the FTO which never made it here in the states! they are pretty nice if you never seen one here's a pic! look at the link ...it uses a mivec v6 engine!
