    NY Times Article (about Mitsubishi in the U.S.)

    A pretty decent article about Mitsubishi USA in the NYT. At least it's not all doom and gloom!

    Read that a couple days ago when looking for news about "MPG-gate". It's one of the few things The Times has written that I could make it all the way through.

    Waikem. I tried TrueCar just to get pricing quotes from various local dealers. Their sales staff hounded me with annoying emails and phone calls more than any other, and it left a negative impression of a hard-sell dealer.

    ick.

    Glad they are out there selling though.

    I'm a little surprised they didn't mention more about owner's fuel economy numbers. It would have been easy to reference the fuel economy logs on this site, fuelly, and fueleconomy.gov.

    I really liked that story!! And I think a lot of the Dealerships are doing the same thing drawing people into a new car, with a big rebate and a cheeper mirage or Outlander. Here in the Pacific Northwest there's a Seattle Dealership that's out selling all the MITSUBISHI dealerships . I see a lot of new Mirages and Outlanders everyday!

    Key quote:

    Mitsubishi recently reported that its North American business generated $58 million in operating profit in 2015, the second annual profit in a row in the region after seven years of losses.
    It's all about the money, and the Mirage is helping.

    I see a lot of new Mirages and Outlanders everyday!
    Wish I could say the same! It's 100 km to the nearest Mitsu dealership, so I see very few.
