its not surprising mitsu has very low sales in this country and others, they are known basically for the evo. the article says exactly why they are doing it, to make ev and hybrids to try and increase their sales.

Unfortunately, this may bring Evo resale values up or at least hold steady whereas the 3 and 4g's suck as is...

ofcourse that is true. the evo x will now become a collectors item, as would any other evo that would have became last, its just the product name that has become so synonomous with performance. but as DMS's knew firsthand before their fame was boosted by hollywood, its the user of the 4g that knows its full potential.

Could make the platforms better. Do the new evos even come in manual? Or just sport mode.
The eclipse could of been done way better. The mivec v6 is beast but throw awd in it and lighten the load a bit?

in reality thats ALL the 4g needed. not even a turbo, not even an AWD for that matter. i bet the if the 4g just had RWD it would have been TONS more successfull. it would have been right up there sales wise with the evo, and ofcourse a couple hundred pounds less wouldnt have hurted

I hope they go through this efficient / eco spell and come back with a champ in like 10 years time.

I can see it now... the 2021 Mitsubishi Velocious, 6.3 Liter Twin Turbo V8.

Dream much?

True! But if they didnt mess up the platform we would have some support behind us. I dont know tho...The dsm's are sick and always will be.

i know searching wouldnt have helped much with this. but we've been talking about this for the last few weeks in a different thread.
mitsu is making a lot of big changes.
and the more you think about it. the more you realize it may be a smart move. by dropping the eclipse, galant, and endeavor, they drop the 6g75. only v6 left would be the 3 liter mivec in the outlander. which puts out the same hp as the non mivec 6g75.
and ooooooh no. they're dropping the evo name at a time when very few are happy with what its become.
just because they drop the names of these cars. does not mean they're done making sport coupes or sport sedans. if they can make an electric hybrid with the same performance as a 2 liter turbo, which they can. they better well do it.
gas prices are and will continue to go up. ethanol will continue fucking up engines. the US will continue not drilling for the oil that we have in our own country. so electric and/or fuel efficient is the way to go. and thats what mitsu is doing by planning to release 5 or so new models within the next few years.

very true and who knows mayb at an upcoming Motor Trend auto show mitsu will unveil the electric successors of the eclipse,galant, and evo mayb they've been kept secret

it wouldn't be an eclipse if it was RWD... what do you think the genesis coupe is.. its a rwd tiburon... if Mitsu would have brought back a 2 dr sports coupe(not sports car) awd turbo as it's top of the line model, they would have sold more cars... but they would have had to up the quality of their interiors and so much more... but yea

So much to comment on.... I think mitsu is making a big change i just hope it works here in the US. It's kinda cool to own the last gen of a model if you think about it. Sure it won't help support but that's never been a big concern of mine anyway.

Well, if Mitsubishi wants to keep me as a customer, they better work on giving me something I want. If not, I'm taking my business elsewhere.

nope... if you notice, aside from Honda, there are very FEW FWD cars that have tons of support... the problem i see is that we are limited by the fact that the eclipse is fwd..

It appears Mitsu has shot off their last foot. Wish they would just spin off the Eclipse and Evo divisions and sell them to someone willing to produce them.

exactly man, that is why i stated how the eclipse would have been hella successfull being RWD. granted it takes away from its history, but nowadays its what people want. the 6g75 would have performed heavenly on a RWD platform, people would have enjoyed it. and shit, it would have been awesome to drift in the eclipse

Oh well looks like mitsu lost all it's fun.
And personally I don't think any of these cars are going to raise in resale value unless their in perfect condition, because they weren't even that sought after when they could be bought.
Mitsu see's the market changing, every company is pushing for hybrids and less fuel consuming cars and since they have already been sucking at selling cars, they are trying to jump on that bandwagon before it takes off and they lose their chance.
Especially in North America right now with rising gas prices again more people will be looking for hybrids and such. I've been hearing gas is supposed to be back up to $5 a gallon -.-
