thanks to their "halo" car the evolution!

 

Oct 1st is the start for the federal government. most companies go with the calender year to match their fiscal year, so January 1st would most likely be the start.

 

Why do you say that? In the last couple years they have gone from - to +.... 36 million profit = after all expenses are covered and every employee payed etc... I think after working very hard to suit their vehicles to the wants of the customers that they would be foolish to abandom that work, especially if it's payed off by making them once again profitable

 

I don't think that Mitsu is going anywhere, however I do believe that the X is going to lose its hot factor when it comes out. I think the idea of them taking out the 4g63 is going to kill the car. Much like the eclipse. The good thing is they are keeping it the turbo. I don't know though. I know that im a faithful 4g63 enthusiast and I will be sad to see it go. Time will tell, we will see what the X has to offer. It would be cool if they came back with te 4g in the new eclipses That wouldnt make sense for them to do that though.
just my .02

 

hopefully this year they will do well again, if not all of us evo owners will own a piece of automotive history.

 

i think the biggest reason they got rid of the 4G63 is due to the stricter emissions constraints being placed on automakers. also i'm sure there have been a lot of advances in engine design since the first 4G63 was released.

 

That's great news! Hopefully by 2008 they'll have enough cash to campaign as an M1 manufacturer in the WRC!

 

good to know

 

I will have to agree that there have been many advances in engine design. I guess im just stuck haha. Its a tough change. I didnt like mivec at first either, but its actually great. I still will stick with my VIII though. Im not going to diss the new car I just am curious to see how well it actually does.

 

i wonder if they are making more money, will they be less strict on warranty

 

hooray for evos

 

Any car maker that is doing turbo cars (EVO, WRX, SRT-4, etc) needs to do flex fuel vehicles that have boost dependent on fuel mix.

You could have a 300hp on gasoline / 350hp on E-85 EVO from the factory right now if it was flex fuel with boost dependent on fuel mix. To me that would be a HUGE selling point, and a big incentive to run reneable fuel. That is the future of liquid fueled vehicles in North America, and I am amazed that some manufacturers have not jumped on this opertunity.

thats good to hear ive always loved mitsu since i was a kid so i want them to stay around.

 

I assume that's how they made that kind of profit initially, by not honoring warranties.

..... but yay for Mitsu nonetheless.

 

Yeah, I'm not saying they didn't make much of a profit over the past years I'm just saying theres no way Mitsu Corp will let Mitsu Motors go under. There might be some shady **** going on but all in all I think Mitsu Motors is pretty safe.
