Mitsubishi dealers get a peek at new V-8 pickup, sporty car
Automaker says models are part of brand repositioning
By Kathy Jackson
Automotive News / September 27, 2004
NEW ORLEANS -- Mitsubishi dealers got their first glimpse here of desperately needed fresh products, a new mid-sized pickup and the redesigned Eclipse sporty coupe.
The Raider pickup, which goes on sale next fall, is a version of the redesigned Dodge Dakota , which debuted this month as a 2005 model.

Thank you GPT, I get so fed up with the people that got an Evo knowing nothing about the roots of it or its company. And then acting like they are the Godsend in terms of knowledge. There are so many freakin punks on this board that think they are Mr. Automobile, that when they talk, you can smell the crap coming out the computer monitor. Whenever there is a dispute, I always check when someone joined the board. Because someone that truly loves Mitsu as a company would have found this board a long time ago.

chrsyler didnt help build the new galant, eclipse, or the endeavor, because if they did, then they would have similar vehicles the the raider and dakota. the death's that the previous post is talking about is dealing with the mitsubishi FUSO department, not mitsubishi motors department, yes in the long view of things it comes down to one company, but techincally they are different companys, mitsu needs mmna because the sales are picking up here. just because there are some financial problems in the corporation, doesnt mean they are going to go running with their tails between their legs. would any other manufactuer do that when one of their markets hits a snag? i think not. chrysler pulled out of mitsubishi, not any great big secret there, but in my personal opinion i think that is great, it starts to cut the tie with them and the crappy chrysler built 4cyl in the old eclipse. now they just have to design their own truck

Some of us work for car companies that are a lot more successful than Mitsu or pretty much any other. Some of us are not blinded by our love for one company, but instead place our passion in all things exciting and lovely, which, trust me, is the Evo, but also a whole lot more out there.

I'm not blinded by anything. Anytime I post a response to someone who posts an obvious mistruth I try to back it up with proof - it has nothing to do with who I work for and what I sell. My opinions are just that, as worthy as anybody else that gets to post on here. I'd do the same for any car company, but it just so happens Mitsubishi is hot topic around here. Imagine that.
Actually Fuso has posted some progress in sales and seem to be coming back too. And again, DCX did not pull out of Mitsu, they just refused to invest in anymore. Mitsu got their cash from somewhere else by issuing stock to fellow Mitsu companies, thus dilluting DCX's share down to a smaller portion (like 12% after all the cash is moved in). They (Mitsu and DCX) are still collaborating on projects together. Its no big deal, no love lost. Fuso owed DCX some damages and they paid it in more shares of Fuso. First rule of business, why spend your own money when you can spend someone else'?
Its funny how when you are pro Mitsubishi on a this, a Mitsubishi enthusiast board, you are considered blinded or a flag waving fanboy and your point of view is somehow cheapened especially if you work for them. But its okay to slam the company and make all kinds of innacurrate claims with impunity.

Texas you are right. You don't have to love Mitsu to grasp the industry. That wasn't the point of the post either. This poster that I was refering to obviously doesn't have a grasp on the industry making ignorant uneducated comments like that. He doesn't even have a decent grasp! Those comments couldn't have been more off-base and untrue!
What I was refering to was that just because he owns an Evo he thinks he is king $hit and a Mr. Know-it-all. I have followed the Evo for years(since the Evo 3 roughly) before it was even here. I owned 2 DSMs because it was really the closest thing to an Evo in America at the time(outside of the VR4 galant). When you have a desire to want and understand something that bad you will educate yourself on the matter. Not just thinking since you own the car it makes you wise of that particular car company. I have worked with Mitsu for about 5 years now and still learn new stuff about their rally roots and heritage as a car company. It is not something you learn overnight. Call me a fanboy or whatever, I want to see Mitsu succeed very bad! Because for one, that is how I make my living, and two when they do make it back into the black, I want to be apart of it. They are a good company that makes good cars. They just needed a kick in the rear to set some things straight.

To Mitsubishi Motors Dealers:
As we reported to you yesterday, the Wall Street Journal posted an online
story that Mitsubishi Motors Corporation in Japan was "quietly" seeking
buyers for its U.S. operations. Though incorrect, this ran in today's hard
copy newspaper.
Upon the posting of the story yesterday, many reporters called MMNA. MMNA
took the opportunity to firmly deny that Mitsubishi Motors has any plans to
sell their U.S. sales or plant operations.
The result was broad pick up of the story today across the country, but
with nearly every story leading with a headline such as "Mitsubishi
Reaffirms Commitment to the U.S. Market." Our denial was frequently in the
first paragraph. No one agreed with the WSJ story. Though it was
unfortunate the WSJ chose to run this (we ultimately can't prevent them
from doing so, despite calls to the reporter to argue our position), the
resulting coverage ended up reaffirming our commitment to the U.S. market.
For customers who call or ask, below is an excerpt from Mitsubishi Motors
Corporation's statement issued yesterday in Japan in response to this,
which reaffirms Mitsubishi Motors is here to stay.
"As announced on January 28, the U.S. is a very important market for the
revitalization of MMC and thus the Company has no intentions to exit this
market. Additionally, the Company has never pursued the possibility of
exiting the U.S. market with potential third parties."
Thank you,

I knew there was a good reason I had plokivos on my ignore list.
I can't believe this severely misinformed GM crap that is being posted. I suppose we could all be wrong, but if that's the case, I want to see proof.
