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: 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.

While reading an article on another subject I saw a reference to a 3.2L engine being available in the Outlander. This was to replace the current 3.0L Trouble is, I can't find any additional info on this and now I can't even remember where I first read it. Do any of you folks know anything about this new engine? The only thing I come up with on-line is a 3.2L diesel used in the Asian market.

A few days ago, Mitsubishi Motors released a mid-term business plan entitled “Step up 2010″, which gave an outline of the carmaker’s intended direction from 2008 to 2010. The plan includes details on several new models that Mitsubishi is interested in developing, with a focus on creating ‘global cars’ rather than region-specific cars. One of the highlights is a new all-electric model, with which Mitsubishi hopes to be the first of the major carmakers to release. In a section entitled “Product Strategy”, Mitsubishi outlined its desire to build cars that are more financially and environmentally responsible. This includes an increased focus on mini-cars and small cars, as well as more efficient mid-sized cars and SUV’s. Officials are also focusing on bringing out cleaner diesel engines and increasing the use of the Twin Clutch SST transmission to maximize efficiency. As a culmination of their environmental focus, Mitsubishi will also release a next-generation electric vehicle dubbed i-MiEV, (ie. Mitsubishi Electric Vehicle) before their competitors are able to release a similar product. There are also plans to increase the number of mid-size platforms, as well as build an SUV based on a one-ton pickup truck and build a small, “lower-impact” SUV....  link article |
