    It's a shame, but Mitsubishi has been a non-entity in the American market for a loooong time. No vision...no products....just picking up the scraps from consumers who don't know any better.

    And, for the most part, not bad cars. Just horrible marketting and an almost non existant dealer network.

Consumer Reports likens Mitsubishi to "the Walmart of car companies" as it undercuts even such no-frills brands as Honda and Hyundai. And cheap is paying off handsomely—at least in sales—for the tiny Tokyo carmaker, which posted its latest monthly results on Tuesday morning."

    I can't believe how well equipped the base model Civic LX are now! Rear cameras and a ton of items they sure didn't come with in the past!

    I guess if this is working for Mitsubishi than it's good thing. My BIL sure loves his Outlander and it hasn't caused him a bit of trouble at around 75,000 miles.
