Sigh. I just don't know what happened to this company. I was in love with Mitsubishi in the 90's. They made good-looking, exciting cars. The boosted Eclipses and VR-4 3000GTs and Galants, and even the full-size Montero. Things went downhill fast early 2000s and I'm genuinely shocked they're still operating today her in the US market.

I wondered about Mitsubishi sales numbers and they are better than I expected.
Cut out the top brands in the 2020 list below but they aren't anywhere close to the bottom. Interesting they are above Alfa, Infiniti, Genesis, Land Rover, Mini, and Jaguar (some by a large margin) Alfa Romeo 18,581 Volvo------ 107,626 Lincoln---- 105,410 Porsche--- 57,294 Chrysler---110,464 Land Rover 79,442 Lamborghini 2,263 Bentley----1,553 Rolls Royce1,119 Ferrari-----2,028 Mini--------28,138 Genesis----16,384 Mitsubishi 87,387 Infiniti------79,502 Maserati----5,214 Jaguar------17,976 Fiat---------4,294

That front looks like an ugly chipmunk or someone that just had their wisdom teeth taken out! Mitsubishi became irrelevant as a car company eons ago, and this ain’t helping.

Even at good margins some of these brands are barely on the radar. Can't see Maserati making money with what they sell. Mini at a 3rd of the sales (maybe a strange sort of luxury?), Alfa at a 5th of the sales, Genesis even lower, Chrysler's nowhere close to luxury and sales are better but not worlds better. I expect Chrysler to go away, what was the last new Chrysler model?

I'm curious as to why Mitsu still sell cars in NA, it has to be a money losing enterprise.

Infinity and Nissan are a shitshow. Let's hope they recover. Jaguars are neither popular with the middle class, who can barely afford them, nor the upper and upper middle class, who think they aren't exclusive enough. Fiat - your mechanic loves you but still hates these cars. Maserati - their best car is almost a 14 year old design and while it still looks good, is horribly outdated. Their most affordable car is a laughing stock.
