Looks like will be getting rid of the Diamante and Montero Sport as of this year (effectively the 2004 will be the last model). Then, at the end of the 2006 model year the Montero will also disappear form the U.S. (i.e. we will not get the next gen Montero... )

big deal who cares...not me

 

One less SUV.
Too bad for Diamante though.

 

They have plenty of SUV's. Outlander is one of the new ones.

 

Hate to say it, but I saw the Diamante's demise coming. I don't think luxury when I think Mitsubishi, and the Diamante just doesn't cut it with the current definition of luxury. Considering the TL, 3-Series, C-Class, and A4 (which has a fan-TAStic interior) are considered entry-level, the Diamante doesn't even appear on the radar. Had no real power either.

 

Good point, and good riddance to two crappy car models.

 

i doubt too many ppl around the country are going to lose sleep over this.

 

i liked the diamante. 210hp, nice styling. but the backseat was tiny, the roof was too low in the back and the Gallant is larger. Your right, no one thinks luxury when they think Mitsu.

the Montero Sport is a pig, very slow. the Endeavor is so much nicer. Maybe if they bring it back as the Shogun it will sell better.

 

I just bought a 03 Outlander and I love it !
AWD is just what I need for snow driving and manual/auto stick is hella cool for snowy driving.
Yeah 125hp is a dog , but its a family totn SUV , Ill get to the grocery and back in time for the simpsons.
