What's up with the Mitsu dealers in the ATL???

So is it just me or are Mitsubishi dealers in other major market area's pulling out? In the last 2 years we've lost 2 mitsu dealers and the one's that are still around have less then 10 Mitsubishi's on the lot and the rest is like Hyndai or Kia.

Do you think that Mitsu will pull out of America completely?

Well, if they could make a car that didn't have tranny problems when it's brand new and an interior that didn't have seats with cheap *** staples popping out then maybe they would be doing better.

In Seattle and surrounding areas, 3 or 4 Mitsu dealers have folded in the last few years. A couple new ones have popped up, too early to see if they make it. I suspect they won't. There are NO Mitsu dealerships at all in Seattle proper.

Its a catch-22, seems like Mitsu doesn't want to invest much in the product because of low sales, which are due to poor product and subsequent lack of dealers!

YUP, no longer a Mitsubishi Dealership. Sucks cause they were the closest to me.
