That is a lot of vehicles. And, to think Mitsu isn't even that big of an OEM... wow.

Thanks for posting that, talldino.

Have you ever done this much research into the "industrial/business" background of a car you've had before?

I currently have a car which was built in a Canadian factory a few hundred km from where I live, so I know a little bit about the manufacturing history of that place. But that's the only one I've researched.

Once upon a time I was a professional researcher, that's probably why I can't stop doing it...
