Im sure new investors (whether the mig Mitsubishi company or any other companies) can help bring Mitsubishi out of the quagmire it's in at the moment. If not, the Japanese government has to step in; if MMC is to go down, thousands of people will lose their jobs, slowing down economy, resulting in even more job losses, etc...its an endless cycle
good point, this is definitely true.. but it will take much more than investors to bail out MMC once again. I think a re-structuring of their company is in order.

For everyone that keeps thinking im referring to Mitsubishi Corp going out of business, read again.. i was referring to Mitsubishi Motor Corp.; which is not the bread and butter of the company by any means. Mitsu is involved in everything from Tuna to Turbos (literally).
The idea of them getting acquired crossed my mind, but this doesnt guarantee their current model lineup let alone its availability in the U.S.
We'll see what happens. I just hope I get my '05 evo GSR. Ill be more than happy with that and the extra $$ to save for my townhouse versus the higher payment associated with the Volvo or Audi.

S60-R: (Pros)
-Excellent Build Quality
-Luxury and Sport in one package
-Turbo I-5 with 345+HP potential
-Practical
(Cons)
-Not a large aftermarket following
-Might not be able to personalize as much as the Evo
Big heavy tank... I saw one at Streets of Willow, it's a tank, too much bodyroll.


S4: (Pros)
-Really beautiful sounding V8
-Practical
-V8 with 400+HP potential
-Luxury and sport in one package
(Cons)
-Most expensive of the bunch (48k with my options)
-Questionable Audi Reliability
-Did I mention it's expensive?
Big heavy tank... although the new one has a stiffer chassis, it's still a tank.

Financially, I'm sure MMC will survive. If they stop shipping EVO's to the US, then it would make our current EVO's a quick collectable car.

Both the Mitsubishi Keiritsu and Japan have a vested interest in motors staying alive. Japan has a history of saving companies anyway.
A new restructuring plan is to be announced in a month. Lets hope for some good news.

the service is just hit or miss, my dealer happens to be extremely easy to work with and i would buy another car from them anytime, in fact, my family has gotten three different cars from them in the last few years.... anyway, i think all companies have bad dealers... my local subaru dealership is horrible, they act like they don't even want to sell you a car... so it's just luck i think

one has little to do with other, mitsu may sell its automotive division to the highest bidder, its been done many times before
