3. People still buy mitsubishi? I mean why.

They aren't domestic, if you like imports Honda makes better small cars, they aren't as cheap as a Kia, they aren't as "trendy" as a Scion.

They fit no real nichce and year after year their vehicles get lackluster marks.

Who the fuck says "Hey I need a car let me check out my local Mitsubishi dealer today?"

4. Actually Mitsubishi builds cars in USA with UAW workers

Some are quite nice. I've noticed many hot rodders and immigrants buy them.

One problem for domestics is that they have run low on economy cars.
