Excerpts:

Mitsubishi Motors Corp. will fortify its fragile U.S. rebound with three electrified crossovers in five years, a bolstered regulatory listening post in Washington, D.C., and a new advanced technology office in Silicon Valley opening in January.

"We are strong in SUVs and four-wheel drives. And that is what we would like to focus on as core models in the U.S. market. We have changed direction," Masuko said. "We are going to allocate more resources to the areas where we are strong in the U.S."

In terms of passenger cars, the U.S. lineup will continue to lean on the Thailand-made Mirage and its sedan variant. The latter, expected to be called the G4 for the U.S. market, is expected to arrive stateside next spring. Both those cars will stick to traditional gasoline drivetrains, Masuko said.
