Mitsubishi, weirdly enough, where I’m from (Philippines), they are doing just fine, but they are struggling everywhere else. Mitsubishi have a special place in our hearts, we love our box-type Lancers, Galants, and especially Pajeros. Today though Evos are gone, the Eclipse is an SUV, I really loved the new Mirage but they never thought of making a hot hatch, which would have been perfect!
90’s Volvo (boxy over engineered cars built to last) Saab DAF Daihatsu (they went away from Europe)
Nissan and Holden are my suggestions.
Saturn
Can you imagine a reboot of the Saturn Sky as an EV?
I really want Mitsubishi to make a comeback. I was never a Lancer or Eclipse guy, but man, it’s all gutless econoboxes now
Everything they make is forgettable. Basically an “also ran” in every automotive comparison article. It’s like they include Mitsubishi just to be nice.
If they could just make one stellar vehicle in a single category, it might save their future. Not an SUV, because that’s too competitive. Maybe a sports sedan and wagon? Or better yet, a small pickup like the Tacoma back before it got so big. I think Mitsubishi actually has the resources and know-how to do it, but it will have to be awesome and reliable.
