Oh mane there's hope after all! This guy Gayu is preaching. Mitsubishi should have been focusing on ads along time ago. Boost in ads and new performance inspired line and things will turn around.
Here's to a good future Mitsubishi!

Beyond the CA-iMIEV concept recently introduced, the new Outlander and the rest of the current lineup just looks dated. Poor design, bad management, no cohesion, no vision, and lack of strong product DNA is slowly killing this company.
What Mitsubishi needs is a major management shakeup from the BOD to the Dealer level, new blood in the design studio, a marketing department (cause it fell asleep about 10 years ago), and bigger engineering cojones. Fellas, our precious Evo is no longer the cat's meow in a sea of more powerful and attractive sports sedans. That new Subaru WRX Concept vehicle makes my Evo MR Touring look outdated, unsophisticated, and like a cheap econo chitcan.
Sad to say if not for the Evo, I would have not given this company a glance. Mitsubishi is imploding from within and the sad part is they don't realize it. It's quiet simple, give enthusiast and customers what they want, and they will buy your cars, offer them mediocre products and continue to lose market share and momentum.
Pathetic.

They need more than marketing to save the company, they have to start hitting home runs with their products. As I see it, Mitsui is circling the toilet bowl, and has been for a while... Can't have a car company survive when you only make 1 vehicle that anyone is interested in.

Nailed it. Unfortunately, the only vehicle in the Mitsubishi stable with real R&D, design, and performance behind it is the one company neglects like an ugly step child. Mitsubishi seems hell-bent on making the Evo fail.
It boggles my mind why Mitsu is so incapable of making the right descisions. If they put one bit of engineering excellence into the rest of their lineup that's present in the evo they would be better off.
Mitsubishi only killed off its only two sellers. The Awd eclipse and the Evo. These were their only two main sellers and they have completely left them behind. Dont know if there much of a future for them now.

Mitsubishi isnt going anywhere anytime soon. They are partners with a company that my company does alot of work for, and they tripled their investment for this year alone which I am sure is going into some r & d for thei automotive line.
