2008 MitsubishiThis is actually the whole reason GM sold the Metro back in the day. GM lost money on every Metro they sold, but it allowed them to sell a lot more (highly profitable) Tahoes and Suburbans without paying a hefty fine to the government.
Good point to recall - I know of this but haven't thought about it for a while. Mitsubishi should be very careful and prudent regarding their relationship with Dodge/Chrysler/Fiat. Seriously - but it's fuel for fodder discussion for enthusiast's like us. BTW - that Chrysler 100 is hot - that is more my style, actually, than the Mitsubishi Mirage, though Mitsu has made that interesting for me with the cool 2017 re-design.
Lots going on and lots at stake. Sergio wants production and results beyond the Ram pickups and Jeeps. Cars like this 100 should sell in NA but this nation is in love with the pickup truck and Jeeps - including the SUV Jeeps. I hope the 100 comes out but this new Mirage for 2017 is right square in the middle of my radar. Steven Mitsubishi in Wichita is selling some 2015 (even 2016's too I think) Mirage's for $11,500. I don't see how a person can go wrong with that, if they like the Mirage.
The car sure gets run through the mud by American car writers. Ridiculous - Mitsubishi engineering is as sound as a pound, actually.
It is possible that FCA will co-develop replacements with Mitsu, since both were looking for partners for aging 200 and Lancer, and both use shared components.
This would make sense, Nissan and Mitsubishi were gonna combine on a sedan, too, but that is no longer going to happen. Mitsubishi's CEO wants to produce SUV's and the i-MiEV and the Mirage, period, and some hybrid SUV's, according to the latest interview I read. It was in late December 2015 - early January 2016. They don't want to shake the dice too much, is what that says to me. Go at their strengths. To those of us who like the Mirage, that is a wonderful thing, huh?
Also, parent Mitsubishi and Mitsubishi Automotive love it when those on Edmunds.com and assorted American carsites continuously pound down Mitsubishi and try to call their demise. Goofy - I just comment on what I've read - Mitsubishi has no intention of leaving the U.S. car market. The Mirage just solidifies this fact for them. And us.
