your all gonna love this one

This from http://www.allpar.com/model/upcoming.html

"Latest reports say that the Lancer/Neon is being engineered not just by Mitsubishi, but by a team of Chrysler engineers assigned to Mitsubishi, and Mitsubishi engineers. While both are working together on a common platform, the final cars - which will be very different in character, though combining many common elements (think Opel Omega/Cadillac CTS) - will be very different. In North America and Europe, the Chrysler version will be used, even (according to current reports) when sold under the Mitsubishi name. In Asia, the Middle East, and South America, the Mitsubishi version will be used - even when sold under the Dodge name.
The Lancer EVO will come to the US as a Dodge, and - get this - will have extensive Chrysler involvement in engineering in the two door version. The four door will be primarily worked on by Mitsubishi engineers, though reportedly members of the Neon ACR team are helping them as well, thanks to their strong rally success. "


Wow.............wow.........
Think if we all sold our Mitsu's, we could buy the company back from DC???

Cool What!?

That is one of the ugliest rumors I have ever heard. Enough to prevent me and whole lot of other EVO fans from buying this car! :

maybe it doesn't sound so reliable but then i wouldn't be surprised...
doesn't chrysler owns 51% of mitsubishi motor?

however i won't believe that it will ever be a dodge in asia...there's no such thing as a dodge in asia...maybe chrysler...that's why le mans they don't call it the dodge viper but chrysler and stuff
