Cars! Cars! Cars!

Mitsubishi's Desperate Move?

Or are they being clever? AutoWeek reports: Zero Emissions. Well, before you get all "Hey! They didn't kill the electric car!" just settle down and get back in your shorts. It's not ready, and it's not coming here first. This really seems like a move to get into the press in a positive light since no one is talking about Mitsubishi other than to say "Gesundheit!" when anyone said "Mitsubishi." Gesundheit!

Is Mitsu telling the truth?

Or trying To Save Sales? Leftlane News reports: Mitsubishi: We won’t leave U.S. With sales in the hopper and nothing particularly amazing for sales (or even coming out soon), we can't figure out why Mitsubishi would want to stay. All of Mistu's products are competent, but none seem to have that extra something special. Chrysler's got the bold look of the 300 and the Charger, Honda and Toyota have the reliability thing and Hyundai has the more for less piece. What does Mitsubishi have?

Mitsubishi Gonarishi

Thank you, thank you. Yes, we are often hired out to write headlines.
AutoWeek reports: Hoping for a Hit. 'taint lookin' so good for ol' Mitsubishi. Sales down over 60% since 2002, nothing particularly amazing for sale now and future products looking pretty "same ol', same ol'" we're pretty confident when we say goodbye to Mitsubishi.

That's the Eclipse Spyder. It's sweet. But it's not enough to save the whole company. Yeah, it's ass does look fatter than hell in this pic. What's up with that?
