I read something to the contrary that I found encouraging: http://jalopnik.com/mitsubishi-is-not-dead-yet-1720389883
"Despite popular belief, Mitsubishi is actually expanding in terms of sales in the United States, with car sales up about 32 percent year-over-year in June and up nearly 25 percent for the first half of the year."
"Mirage sales are up 63.3 percent year-over-year, with 13,501 vehicles through June. That’s more than sales of the Volkswagen Beetle convertible and coupe combined"
"If they want to build a plant, it makes more sense to build in a place like Mexico where the free trade agreements are far superior (the Normal plant, for instance, used to export vehicles to Russia)."
