Two top MMNA executives leave
Searched and didn't see anything. From the Car Connection web site.

In a surprise move, Mitsubishi Motors North America announced the resignations of Dave Schembri, executive vice president of sales and marketing, and Wayne Killen, vice president of marketing. Mitsubishi said they left to pursue other opportunities. However, Schrembri had joined only about a year ago and had succeeded in halting the slide in Mitsubishi sales and also in getting buzz going around the company's advertising and products. Schrembri could not be reached for comment. No replacements were named. For the present, the sales and marketing operations will be directed by president and CEO Hiroshi Harunari, Mitsubishi's official statement said. -Joe Szczesny

You guys DO know that marketing guys get canned all the time, right? Sales guys, too. Generally executives get to leave gracefully and "resign" when in fact they have been nicely asked to leave. I can see MMNA doing this as their marketing has been less than stellar for a while. I understand he stopped the bleeding, but I am sure they want more at this point. This is nothing new or fatal. It occurs in big companies all the time.
