If they were not concerned with competition, they would not mention Mitsu. That just means Mitsu is a player in their book.

I don't believe this. If it were true you would be hearing it more in the mag's and news from automotive representatives. I will believe it if the information came from a wider spread of people.
Mitsubishi seems to be doing pretty darn good in the US recently with their product redesigns... Sales up 28.5% in the US year over year. Why would they leave the world's largest auto market - a market where their sales are experiencing a tremendous rebound??

No matter what happens, it's not going to get any worse than things already are. The name would be bought and Mitsu would still be around. If anything, hopefully they would start making better cars (this excludes the Evo of course) and start treating their current customers better.
Some of you might say "well then they might change the Evo or get rid of it". I think that's unlikely because the Evo is a profitable car. It's a byproduct of pre-existing yet incredibly well engineered rally technology thrown into a cheaply built sedan and priced extremely high. Nobody can say they bought an Evo for the smooth ride and low road noise
I don't think we have anything to worry about
