This thread goes back a while... back when I was just lurking on here. I don't have huge Mitsubishi connections but do watch things a little bit. Mitsu hast been posting huge MoM and YoY gains for 3-4 years, even before the Renault-Nissan alliance got involved. In August sales were 8,416 -- up quite a bit from these posts from 5 years ago.
The iMiEV was a major flop. When Ally became the 'captive' finance arm there was a bit of a lease on them, but not much interest.
I guess Mitsubishi is currently one of the bigger winners in the crossover craze. They currently have the Outlander Sport, Outlander, and the Eclipse Cross. Mirage is cheap and cheerful but not for a very popular segment these days. The new Lancers are probably all gone at this point, especially since it's been eradicated from the MMNA corporate site.
I like the underdog stories, so hopefully the Renault-Nissan alliance can help a little more in the yeas ahead. Right now I think that very little has come to Mitsubishi from that alliance.
