    ----------------------------


    I just read an eye-opening article about Mitsubishi's North American situation & strategy:

    Mirage facts...

    - 7,000 per year ... the number of Mirages the company expects to sell in the U.S. (for comparison, GM sells about that many Chevrolet Sparks every 2 months at current sales levels)

    - the primary reason the car is in North American market is due to U.S. dealers demanding more models to sell


    General highlights...

    - North America is by far the company's smallest market

    - U.S. sales of 64,000 (all vehicles) this fiscal year, vs. 357,000 in Southeast and Northern Asia in the same period

    - 2002 was its peak in the U.S., at 345k vehicles

    - the U.S. division has posted a loss every year since 2007

    - now has about 400 US dealerships

    - despite that, officials insist they're in it for the long run -- the company is not pulling out of the U.S.

    - the president of the company stated the U.S. division is in "transition", and a lot of change will come starting around 2015

    - the general situation has forced prices down; the brand has become the destination for sub-prime customers and people looking for deals...

    Today, most Mitsubishi buyers come for the deal, resulting in transaction prices that trail almost every competitor.

    kalifornia: I'm sure they meant to say "sublime".

    ---

    daox: I agree 7k per year doesn't seem to make sense, given the sales of the Spark at 3-4k per month.

    But there are only 400 Mitsubishi dealerships in the U.S. I didn't find an exact (current) number, but GM had "about 7,000" dealerships in the U.S. prior to the 2008 financial crisis. Even if GM is down to 5000 dealerships (UPDATE: it's 4300, not 5000. See post #18), post-crisis, compare that to 400 Mitsubishi dealers and it starts to make more sense.

    I have traveled to many states (15) and a lot of people just don't know about Mitsubishi and their cars. I always see that people stare at my car. Some of them ask about it and some of them say that they like how it looks.
    This is my car.
