Mitsubishi from 3 diamonds to Diamond in the rough


 WILL MITSUBISHI LEAVE THE UNITED STATES LIKE SUZUKI (CARS) DID?

                Bring Back The Eclipse! 
Last Month Kia sold 50,044 units. While Mitsubishi sold only 7,426. Did you ever think that would happen. Well it has been that way for years. It's almost over Johnny. The last 1,600 Final Edition, Lancer EVO's are now being shipped to the dealers. Better get one while you still can. Mitsubishi said the Future is Electric and that's what they will focus on. I would go with the win on Sunday sell on Monday, or start Today, after all it is Black Friday.
