Mitsubishi should stay. Suzuki should stick to building crotch rockets. I think though that Mitsubishi might benefit from another partnership with Chrysler. I always liked Mitsubishi for the DSM cars that were produced, but the new Eclipse doesn’t have as much appeal to me as the 1st gen does. Liked it better when Lee Iaccoca had a say in its design.

I don`t care if they leave. In the long run it would leave more potental sales open for the big four. thats right four toyota has such a large share in this country far to many jobs would be lost with out them.

Suzuki still sells in the U.S. Market? I thought they went the way of Isuzu years ago. Mistubushy is iffy at best.

humoring a samuri, and a dodge colt vista, my number one enemy…I said enemy, like its a war. Enemy.I am glad mistubishi is not a success like they pretend with an evo(the suped up vista).the fakers and captalists take a hike. the people with real cars is the economy. Now to bomb the plague that killed subarus, and reinvent a carb with a cold circuit..it just needs guns of heavy calibre and the USA. So scarey…the pyramiding capitalists..so scary…good riddens.

It would be a terrible blow to Mitsubishi Motors to leave the U.S. / North American market right now. The new MiEV electric vehicle is just getting ramped up for production in Japan. Hopefully it will be here in 12 to 18 months and they are currently assisting many areas in the U.S. and Canada on how to prepare an EV friendly infrastructure. I’m not claiming that the MiEV is the be-all and end-all vehicle of modern propulsion but it is an incredibly important first step. This is a chance for them to really make a significant leap in stature here. If Mitsubishi pulled out of the U.S. or closed it’s factory in Illinois they would most likely lose their dealers and any chance of ever making a comeback when the auto market regains momentum.

In the meantime they should bring in their Colt and I-Car variants. I’m sure they would sell well especially since Fiat is planning to bring a Polish made mini-car (the 500?) over here supposedly to save Chrysler!

Osamu Masuko should stick to his guns and take care of his dealers or Mitsubishi will be a big loser in the long run.

Don’t quite care for imports, but Mitsubishi should keep some of their US Market(mainly because of vehicles like the Lancer/Evo) and…well for Suzuki GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDENS.
