Ha, this one got reposted all over--the 3/31 post dates meant it wasn't likely meant as April Fool's. Yeah, I wrote it up, too.

Someone posted this in the comments, though. Can anyone else verify that this letter is real?



Needless to say, the post date and scan without a signature make me a little skeptical and I'd rather confirm that it's real before writing up an oops.

so how come 2013 was the first time since the dsm era did Mitsubishi actually make profit? sales and gross has been on the steady incline, why would they pull out when they're actual on target for a good profitable 2014?


if they pull out of the us now, it'll be like packing away a 50,000 piece puzzle before you put in the last piece, it just doesn't make any sense


and there has been a manufacturer conformation that the evo isn't stopping in 2015

Thanks for posting the whole one. TBH, if '15 is the last year they're offering the Evo X and there's a '15/'16 SOMETHING in the works, it makes sense that they're halting production of the X in '14.

I still wanna know what the something is, though, and my rant on the lack of overall brand strategy still stands.

no worries, I can see there strategies, they're moving forward on the technologies and they have to design and build the entry level lancer first, they have left if too long as there will be a year or two between the evo x and the evo 11, it was the same for the evo 9 and x, the next evo WILL be here in 4 years!


Just sucks cos I wanted my x to last 'till the 11.... but i'm at 80k miles now and I may need to trade for a lower mileage x to keep me going lol



The only thing I really see going wrong is all the evo "fans" ready to jump ship and drop them like a brick in water.....

why would a "fan" sell a car because they don't make any more?

I'm talking about Mitsubishi as a company, people have zero faith and are giving up already, all because of a few rumors

people seem to be happy they will fail cos their cars will be worth more.....

i gotcha. i hate to see anyone fail. i didn't buy my car as an investment, so i don't really care what it's worth but i see a lot that do. it's just a 4cyl sedan import. i don't see them ever selling at Barrett Jackson.

If this is a hoax, it's an elaborate one.

Legit media organizations are pimping this story too.
