Guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 It's been said over and over that Mitsubishi Motors of North America has no clue, non as to what sells in the States. Take the following vehicle for example, Mitsubishi Colt CZ3. Sold in Japan, Netherlands and Italy. The car would so sell in the States, yet Mitsu has no clue about and they continue trying to make up all their North American sales on the over priced Evo. 1.5 liter turbo. Honda sells the Fit, Ford sells the Fiesta, Toyota sells the Yaris. All micro cars that sell in the states. Why not a Colt? Tell me if I'm wrong.

Guest Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 It looks like quite the little scooter. Mitsu has the worse consultant team advice them on what sells in the States. They need to be fired. Along with the engineers that made the two injector TBI technology! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanta Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Dude - look at Mazda now - they have the Mazda 2 to compete with thingfs like the Fit and the Scions. Nissan has the Cube, KIA has the Soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metric-man Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 It would compete with with this POS http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/jsp/media.do?sID=0&aID=4 that they are trying to market here. Remember how Mitsubishi cow tows to CARB and the EPA, that is probably why we (Starion /Conquest's) were designed with the G54B and throttle body injection,with a pre cat AND a three way CAT.That's allot of cat poop for a 4 cylinder. They are not exactly morons, they have always been empirical/imperialist tactically and politically. http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/jsp/media.do?sID=0&aID=10 they also have quit a few apples in this basket already.. http://www.hyundaiusa.com/sonata-hybrid/performance.aspx They don't really care IMHO they're too busy selling in other markets, and selling parts to other manufacturers. We in the USA see it as competition, in Japan they only see co-operation. It is not their business to re-educate us it is only their business to sell cars. The USA and it's population need to wake up an see how we operate as opposed to how the rest of the world operates,what's even more important is we need to pass this knowledge along to our fellow citizens by example. I think it all stems from the ignorance of by bi-partisanship and how it is portrayed in government and the media, if children don't see the parents co-operate and "get along" how do they expect their children ( us the populous / citizenry ) to ? So in reality the USA political systems and the Media are the morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets make it fast so no one can see it!" Mitsus overall marketing sucks. They need a better consulting firm. I bet you they're still using the same consultant that fudged up the name "Stallion" into "Starion"! puts on flame suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
