Ok I believe there is a lot of bad info in the other thread.

First thing- 364 sales of EVO is actually pretty good. Factoring in the fact that EVO sales are at their highest in the summer and fall. Mitsubishi is on pace to sale 5,000 to 5,500 EVO Xs which is just right about where I would have expected. Sales could even become higher with the introduction of the MR model. So it is possible as far as EVO X sales, this may be the best selling EVO model since the 2003 EVO VIII.

Second thing- Sales of cars such as the Lancer, Galant, and Eclipse are doing very well, it is the SUVs and Trucks such as the Endeavor, Outlander, and Raider, bringing down the sales.

Last thing- I am not 100% sure why the sales for the SUVs or Trucks are so down, it could be something we don't even know about. But please stop jumping to f*cken conclusions I mean Mitsubishi sales from jan 07 to December 07 were way up, and then all of a sudden in jan 08 the sales are way down. That right there shows me something is different with the production of vehicles. My point is that the auto industry just doesn't work like that, you don't sale on average 3,000 vehicles a month and see sales continue to rise from month to month, and all of a sudden sales are off by 25% the next month. Only thing that explains this is a change in production, for instance if the production of the Raider and Endeavor slowed, there would be less of them to sell. I am not saying that is the reason, but to think people just don't want to buy Mitsubishis is f*cken stupid. Then explain why the sales of Lancers, Galants, and Eclipses continue to increase month to month.

 

SUV and truck sales are down because they burn more gas, and fuel's pushing $4/gallon, and because the Raider never sold particularly well anyhow. Also, the economy sucks really hard right now. Everybody is way off their normal sales, not just Mitsubishi.

 

Heh, I can't believe he did not see the obvious. This guy needs to calm down. He's way too temperamental.

 

i want evo sales to be down...less people to have the same car..haha..

i hate rolling past somone with the same car..

as long as its spread out and far between im fine.

 

That's a yes and a no. The reason why you don't see that many Mitsubishis is that most people don't want to buy them, but more people are buying, though. You're logic is way to polarized.

 

You're an elitist poseur. Ha ha ha...

 

In Russia Mitsu sales are up 44% last quarter with 21 296 vehicles sold. Lancer X is the best selling car. The new Evo X is not even out yet. Overall automotive industry was up 54%.

 

Oh and your logic makes sense Wow evom.net is really not full of many geniuses, but so many people think they are geniuses, though.

 

Awesome! I wonder how Mitsubishi is doing world wise.

I remember reading somewhere that Mitsubishi is not bankrupt in the States anymore.

 

Because their prices are higher than people are WILLING and ABLE to pay for mitsu.

 

Obvious Look dude, sales for Mitsubishi were way up in 2007 and this includes the Outlander, Endeavor, and Raider crap, but then all of a sudden a dramatic decrease started in Jan 08, now I realize that gas prices play a role in this, but it doesn't usually work that fast and that dramatically.

For instance I could sell lemonade and make about $200 worth of sales a weekend. Each weekend my sales increase, and by the end of 2007 my sales are about $250. Then all of a sudden the prices for lemons start to increase causing me to raise my prices a little. So now I sell lemonades for 45 cents a cup instead of 40 cents a cup. Now I expect sales to lower the next weekend, but a 23% drop in sales, now that is pretty dramatic don't you think. Now if I keep raising prices (this represents gas) then I could expect sales to eventually lower to around 15% to 25%, but seriously such a dramatic decrease in sales from one weekend to next, is definitly not common and obvious. So my point again- I realize that gas prices and even the economy play a role in this, but it doesn't usually work that fast and that dramatically. Also the Lancer in comparison to other vehicles in its class gets one of the worst mpgs, yet it still continues to sell vehicles very well. The same can be said of the Galant and the Eclipse.

 

Filled with geniuses? Of course not. That not possible here. But this site does have a lot of smart people and you are one of them. I do not consider myself a genius that would be dumb because I'm not.

There are lot of dumb, arrogant and ignorant asses here though.

 

First off Mitsu needs to bring the triton over to US shores... It's a killer truck and looks beautiful, actually you-tube Mitsubishi Triton and you'll get some killer tidbits of what this truck is capable of! I'm seeing more and more Lancers every day now, which is AWESOME! I don't know where you guys live, but I see a lot of Mitsu's in Ohio. ESP. the Eclipse, Galant, Endeavor, Outlander and EVO's every now and then!

P.S. The colt would do well over here as well due to the inflation of gas.

 

You're specifically just talking about April alone, I see. That should of been obvious to me. Hmmm, I don't know what's the reason for the downturn of sales. You should go back to the old thread and read Noize's posts. He seemed to be the most knowledgeable about this topic. I was too lazy to read many of the posts in that thread, so I probably missed the cause of decreased sales.

 

Ok let me explain better. For the year of 2007 Mitsubishi was experiencing increases in sales from month to month. Then all of sudden like clock work, sales were off by 23%. Now don't get me wrong, I realize that sales can fall off pace, but in business sales do not just fall flat on their face so dramtically and quickly (unless there are other factors at play). I could understand that if Jan 07 Mitsubishi sold 11,400 vehicles and in Jan 08 they sold 11,100 which is like a 2% to 3% decrease in sales which would usually be felt across the board from cars to SUVs. But all of a sudden to see sales drop from 11,400 to 8,700 in one month is pretty dramatic, especially when this isn't being seen across the board with all vehicles. It just makes me think that there are other factors at play contributing to the dramatic and quick decrease in sales. Yes gas prices and economy do play a role, but the decrease in sales is gradual and not just BOW 23% decrease the next month especially after experiencing very brisk sales the prior months.
