Mitsu cars lost $2 Billion in 9 months!!! $2 Billion here, $2 Billion there, pretty soon it adds up to REAL MONEY.

You are dead wrong on all three accounts. Mitsubishi's only decent car is the evo, everything else is garbage compared to the competition. How can you honestly say that the warranty is worth a damn?

Mitsubishi will never go under

6 new cars will be released in the next 3 yrs....2 cars being released this yr new redesigne eclipse, and the raider...

now do u kno how much money it cost to develop da eclipse? a lot of loot

and second...mitsu is no longer using deuictch (????bad spellin) advertising agency....4 huge advertising agencies are bidding to have Mitsu as a customer!!!

nissan or renault are purchasing 40,000 mini cars from mitsubishi motors a yr for thier own line up....

Mitsubishi heavy industries are in + sales this fiscal quarter

merril lynch is lookin into invest money into MMCA - opps did i leak that out????

what about theBEST BACKED CAR Campaign????? money being spent....its jus that sales has beeen in a slump...but so are everyone else...

if u look back from years...mitsu sales has dropped da least amount of percetages than VW.....did u kno dat?

so ...i think mitsu will be around

Richard EVO

I don't think you know anything about financial accounting. The costs of developing new cars is amortized over several years. Mitsu doesn't have to take a hit for all the development costs in one year. The cause of the $2 Billion loss is lots of other problems, expensive R&D is only a small part of the problm.

everyone seems to think that because of mitsu fuso division screwed up that all of mits is going down or is hurting, especially now that chrysler and mitsu have parted ways, but nobody understands that mitsu corp. owns the second largest bank in tokyo and has 30 major companys under its belt. it wouldnt surprise me if that article took the loses of some of those companies, added them together and said it was mits motor's loses. mitsu may have hit a bump in the road with the fuso divisions cover ups but to say they are going under or some bs like that is just plain stupid. oh a link to the list of mitsu companies that mitsu corp owns for ya'lls info http://http://www.mitsubishi.com/php...rch.php?lang=1

oh and about the warranties, they are great you just have to know which dealer to take your cars to and know how to talk to the service writer. just becuase you have an intake here some exhause there is enough grounds to have the warranty voided. a 10 year 100k mile powertrain 5 year 60k mile bumber to bumber warranty plus the insentives they offer like mitsu loyalty money if you trade a old mitsu in and all that other stuff. to say every other car of mitsu is crap except the evo? that is a lil bit of ignorance there. i mean come on they offer an outlander awd 5 speed, do i hear the sounds of a evo engine swap or aftermarket turbo set up? everything said here is just me venting and are my own veiw of things

Old news......

Of course Mistubishi is one of the very largest Japanese conglomerates, not only in automobiles and banking, but also in consumer electronics (go to your local Best Buy and what kind of big screent TVs and HDTVs do you see most?), etc. etc. The comapny's job is to make profits for the shareholders. If they are hemmoraging money from Mistubishi cars, they could pull the plug or sell it, and still be a huge company, without a money losing division.

Mitsubishi Motors USA makes up like 6 or 8% of entire Mitsubishi...I think they can keep the cars coming and Mitsubishi won't be going anywhere for a LONG time.

Here's a Forbes article:

If anything, it's the US market that will save mitsu motors. The losses they're seeing here are nothing compared to the losses in japan. Within a short time, they've went from 3rd largest automaker in japan to 7th (behind suzuki)! I agree the main reason for the lossses is bad public opinion from press, but what we see here from the AP is so much more kind than what's been happening in japan.

Everyone knows mitsu as a whole is a massive collection of companies with massive cash, but that doesn't necessarily mean the auto division won't tank - I give them about 50/50.

See, that is why DC had a press release that they will not back Mitsu so when the stocks drop they will have a huge windfall in buying out the company and own it totally.

I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere that the US automotive portion of Mitsu was just in place for name reconition for the larger part of the Mitsu empire.
