I think Mitsubishi should downsize and stick to making basic

>>14173122
Looking at their current lineup, Mitsubishi should probably accept that they have almost nothing to offer the developed world, and just get on with selling cheap crap to poor countries.

>>14173185
"Cheap crap" that is lightweight, well handling, and reliable would sell with a ton of enthusiasts in 1st world countries.

>>14173185
Mitsubishi is extremely popular in Australia and even made a profit in Canada in 2015.

>>14173122
Well how about you just go ahead and get that CEO job at Mitsubishi then kiddo

>>14173122
There's an old saying, "You can be better, or you can be different" regarding the car biz. To this I can add cheaper.

Mitsubishi is none of these things. They were at their best when they were either cheap and reliable (if a bit generic), or different and involving (like their 80's and 90's turbo cars). They are going to have to come up with something other than another crossover if they have any hope of success beyond Asia.

MRJ vs Superjet vs E Jet vs C Series

Prepare for tiny, cramped airplanes doing things that used to be done with 737s, A319s, and MD80s.

>>14173693
737's, A319's, and MD80's are a lot more expensive to fly on short haul routes. Given airlines usually only make 1 or 2% profit, they'll take any efficiency they can get.

Also, E-Jets are 4 across, C-Series are 5 across, 737/319's are 6 across. So they're all just as cramped.

>>14173716
I know WHY they're flying them. I'm saying it'll suck. Not really the same but I rode jumpseat in an E175 a couple times and the crew gets to second base every time they pull something off the printer.

Didn't know the Bombardier was going to be 5-wide though.

>>14173122
Mitsubishi is a multi-industry, multi-national corporation. I don't think that plan factors in their corporate structure.

>>14173270
None of it handles well at all, though. And there are other firms that make cars that are either cheaper but no more crappy, or the same price and less crappy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy about any of this. I'd love to see a new Starion, Evo and Galant Vr4 just as much as anyone else in this thread. But the Mitsubishi that made the originals is long dead, and its corpse is really starting to smell.

>>14173809
Cars don't factor into the corporate structure of Mitsubishi MOTORS Corporation?

cars are a fraction of mitsu

performance cars are a fraction of that.

>>14173122
I think it's stupid that you post a daily thread pondering the continued relevance of mitsubishi.

>>14173860
Do you know what percentage of the annual revenue Mitsubishi Motors is for Mitsubishi Jūkōgyō Kabushiki-kaisha total annual revenue?

>>14173886
None, because they aren't the same company.

The Mitsubishi Group (三菱グループ, Mitsubishi Gurūpu) (also known as the Mitsubishi Group of Companies or Mitsubishi Companies) is a group of autonomous Japanese multinational companies[1] covering a range of businesses which share the Mitsubishi brand, trademark, and legacy.

>>14173939
There no question, because you don't know anything. MHI, once upon a time, made cars. Generally they were for the Japanese military and politicians. They may, still, I don't know. They do not own and are not responsible for MMC.

id like if they bring back comfy interiors and crazed limited editions
but that is wishful thinking in today's market
where no one likes their car or keeps it long

In what world?

just the older ones between the 80s and 90s

>>14177159
>main thing with mitsu is they have a rep for terminal engine failure
lolno
gearboxes sure

The only time I remember them getting shit about their engines were for the GDIs that kept gumming up valves

>>14177417
I don't believe you. The only issues I know of with engines are the 4D56 cracking heads and the 4M40 warping them. Both only if the cooling system is uncared for and they overheat.

>>14177417
>between the 80s and 90s
That's when mitsu engines were at their most reliable

>>14177429
Jokes on you, they still use the same engines. They only just ditched the 4M4x in their new Pajero Sport and L200 and they STILL use it in the Pajero along with the 6G7 that probably still kicks around in something else. Hell in GCC you can get the 6G72, still.

>>14177425
>>14177429
my family has had 4g37 and 4m40 shredding head gaskets from warping heads
and heaps of local people dislike Mitsubishi

guess its just people not getting the right engine or taking care of things
your holding it wrong .ect

Mitsubishi does make TV's.
They also famously made airplanes.

Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are two different companies.

>>14177722
with the same parent company.

It's like saying Pontiac and Chevrolet were completely separate companies. Maybe so, but they both had General Motors as a parent.

>>14177873
That's not the business structure of the Mitsubishi companies. They are all separate entities. They're a group of a friends, not a family.

>seperate entities
not really. also i don't think it can be compared to GM where GM acquired many independent bands

Every Mitsubishi company still falls under the
Mitsubishi umbrella and was started by it.
MMC grew from Mitsubshi's industrial arm, and that industrial section was started by interests of of the older branches of the company.

Mitsubishi companies are all related but not in the same way as GM.

GM adopted all their companies where as with Mitsubishi they're more like distant cousins

>>14177997
>not really.
Yes, really. They are legally separate entities. They simply share the brand history and name. They have no 'parent' company.

>>14178019
>They have no 'parent' company.
So, it's just a coincidence that they all happened to use the same logo and name and just one day thought "hey guys, would you look at that we all use the same name and logo, let's be a group!" right? You fucking idiot?

>>14178064
You're a fucking moron who doesn't understand business structures. Please kill yourself. Or adopt a trip so I can at least filter you.

>>14178192
Answer the question you stupid son of a bitch. Is that what happened?

>>14178199
Go fucking read about it, faggot. You can find the history of the group on any of the member companies' websites.

>>14178207
Not im but I read the history of the group.
Which is why I said they're not really seperate entities.
