Anybody else see this news about the new CEO for Mitsu's North American division?

Mitsubishi's New CEO Is An Industry Rock Star Who Specializes In Trucks

Having spent a significant portion of his career at Chrysler, his big rise to fame was when he was in charge of splitting off RAM from Dodge to make it its own brand. He then went on to run RAM for a few years with great success. Other automakers noticed and Nissan later poached him to revitalize its own pickup trucks. The latest Titan is mainly his doing.

That announcement dovetails with this statement made in Mitsu Canada's latest sales press release:

March 1, 2018 – Momentum is building for Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada as it repositions itself as an SUV company.
We already know the company is banking on new & redesigned SUV's & CUV's like the newly available Outlander PHEV, which has been a hit in Europe, and the brand new Eclipse Cross:




The company has no plans to replace the outgoing Lancer sedan, leaving the Mirage as the odd duck in an all-truck lineup. Where does the Mirage fit in a "SUV company"?

The Mirage helped tide over North America dealers while the trucks were being readied. Once they're here, I can see a case for dropping it -- it no longer fits with the "brand image". And many in the "big name" U.S. automotive media would cheer the Mirage's demise. Mitsu surely knows that dropping it would result in writers saying things like "the company is finally getting serious."
