What happens to us if Mitsubishi tanks?

What scenarios do you folks see if Mitsubishi doesn't make it financially? Specifically, what do you think that would that mean for U.S.A. Evo owners? I wonder, e.g., if resale values would greatly diminish and also what we could expect as to maintenance, repairs, and availability of parts. It seems to make sense for us to explore this issue sooner rather than later - just in case.

Yeah, I second what Playa said, and third it too, it's not like 99% of us NEED mitsu anyway...except for replacing stock parts when they break (and they do break)...but if Mitsu tanks, there'll be enough companies that will make aftermarket parts we could have frankenstien cars, worth a crap load

A lot of aftermarket O.E.M. part suppliers and importers will pop up like they did for MG or AMC.

Are you saying Mitsu is being backed by Drug Dealers?

Okay, then we won't have to run high octane gas the Evo will just run on trash and fly around with the tires folded up underneath it.

Almost makes me wish they would just tank... I wouldn't mind having a kick *** resale value.
