Mitsubishi, weirdly enough, where I’m from (Philippines), they are doing just fine, but they are struggling everywhere else. Mitsubishi have a special place in our hearts, we love our box-type Lancers, Galants, and especially Pajeros. Today though Evos are gone, the Eclipse is an SUV, I really loved the new Mirage but they never thought of making a hot hatch, which would have been perfect!
In Europe, Mitsubishi’s model line-up is somewhat more diverse, the point being that they’re doing badge engineering on successful Renault models. The Mitsubishi Colt is a Renault Clio with a changed badge. I wouldn’t have such a problem with it if they brought out the Clio RS as a Mitsubishi model because that car is a little French rocket. Jesus Christ, besides, the design of that vehicle is impeccable, it’s a hoot.
There’s a version of the Clio RS where they put a V6 engine like the ones used in Formula 1 in the rear of the vehicle and it still had rear-wheel drive. Of course, only two seats were available for the driver and one passenger, but that was a detail.
