Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Mar 15, 2008 3:53 pm) I've had a change of opinion about the re-styled Galant. I saw more pics of it at Mitsu's website and I really really like it. Lastly, looks like Mitsu is gonna try and take advantage of the weak dollar by ramping up production at the Normal, IL facility and increasing US exports to China. Here's the article link as well as an excerpt click here "Mitsubishi Motor plans to export U.S.-made cars to China and the Middle East, and expand its exports to Russia, while Nissan plans to expand exports to the Middle East. Reporting for Reuters by Elaine Lies; Editing by Ben Tan" http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2008/03/17/081122.html |

Mitsubishi Lancer and EVO X. Evidently in the UK they have been praised for their sound design and great looks already, but, it's cool to see that the appraisers there are putting the new compact's resale values at all-time highs. Mitsubishi's hard work is paying off, gentlemen! Take a look-see. http://paxtech.blogspot.com/2008/02/best-ever-residual-values-announced-for.html- - I have thought these same thoughts as I drive and enjoy my '08 Lancer GTS but it is really nice to hear from those in the industry, including the UK.

Replying to: mikevegas06 (Mar 21, 2008 11:55 am) WHAT?! CR is biased against Mitsu? NO WAY! Just because they called the Eclipse "The most disappointing new car of 2006" and said it was the least fun to drive? Just because they said the Galant was an OK car competing with better ones? Just because they made snide remarks about Lancer and Outlander and Endeavor and...  For CR there is Honda and Toyota and nothing else. |

magazine. They make good...ummm...hamster fodder. I have never seen a more biased, inconsequential piece of garbage magazine than Consumer Reports. I already went through all of their crap with my last two new cars, a '99 Kia Sephia and a 2001 Kia Sportage 4X4. They were truly very good vehicles and the cost-to-own them was very reasonable. And guess how Clodsumer Retorts treated Kia? Right. I find their peddlings to be mere drivel, though. You're right, if it ain't Hon-Duh or Thai-ot-a with Clodsumer Retorts it ain't worth a toot. Their product is baseless and lame. Very, very lame. OTOH-Mitsubishi is a bright star on the rise, gentlemen.

A lot less sugar coating from Mitsu this year... April 1, 2008 -- Cypress, Calif. -- Mitsubishi Motors today announced total March 2008 sales of 10,750. Galant was the volume leader at 2,676, up 26.6% from last March's volume. This was Galant's best first quarter in three years. Lancer closed at 2,514, up 32.7% from last March's volume. This was also Lancer's best first quarter in three years. Overall Mitsubishi sales were off 14.2% for March compared to March 2007 sales of 12,536. http://media.mitsubishicars.com/detail?mid=MIT2008040148996&mime=ASC or just click here

Replying to: mikevegas06 (Apr 01, 2008 5:22 pm) That's not too bad. GM and Chrysler were off 19%. Even Toyota was off 10%. I'm just glad I did my part to keep Mitsu afloat.

Replying to: toomanyfumes (Apr 02, 2008 4:54 pm) I found this article on msn.com about Consumer Report's rating of the top reliable used vehicles. Mitsu has two in the list -- the Outlander and the Endeavor. The article is too long to post... click here or copy and paste http://editorial.autos.msn.com/article.aspx?cp-documentid=435706 oldfarmer, how many times has the misses driven the Eclipse

Replying to: mikevegas06 (Apr 03, 2008 3:28 am) Still can't get her behind the wheel.  She likes to be driven around in it though. On Easter we went to the relatives and she was like a carnival barker telling everyone to go out and look at it, so I guess she's proud of it. But drive it herself, nope. I'm thinking that because it is such a fast car she is afraid of it (I never owned a car that made other cars shrink in the rear view mirror like this one). Maybe this weekend I'll take her out to an empty parking lot and let her get used to it. On a positive note both my sons have driven it and have left with ear to ear grins.
