I am commissioning in the Army in May and need to have a more utilitarian vehicle that can take me cross-country along with a lot of my personal belongings. I bought this car in May, 2010 while working as the Used Car Manager at a local dealership. I knew from the moment I saw it that I had to have this car. Ever since high school these machines have fascinated me. Beginning in the early 1990s, Diamond Star Motors (DSM) began producing a car that was available from three different brands: Mitsubishi, Eagle, and Plymouth. The respective models were the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon, and the Plymouth Laser. They all came in front wheel drive and all wheel drive layouts, manual or automatic, and turbo or non-turbo. By far the rarest of these was the Plymouth Laser AWD Turbo. Not many were made and production was actually halted mid way through the 1994 production year. Costing over $16,000 new in 1992, they were the hot ticket for those looking for a thrill. In the years to come they began showing up in the used car market and for a relatively small amount you could have the platform for a great, FAST, weekend warrior! When I purchased the car, I became the third owner at 57,042 miles. VERY LOW ORIGINAL MILES! The owners before me were an older couple. The wife had driven it for a while then got tired of the manual transmission. The husband then drove it on the weekends until they decided to sell it. All of these miles are original and there is no indication of any rollback whatsoever. When I purchased the car it was in very good cosmetic shape but had a few mechanical issues. All 1st generation DSMs were notorious for leaking capacitors within the ECUs. This is exactly what happened with my car. After this repair ($78) it ran like new. This Laser has lived the majority of its life under a carport and it shows. The exterior of this car is an 9 out of 10, especially for DSM standards. There are knicks and dings from normal driving, however, this is to be expected from any 22-year-old car! Paint on the door mirrors is beginning to fade due to them being plastic. There is only one mark on the car from any kind of "accident." Just behind the left-rear wheel there is a quarter sized scrape from me backing into a curved retaining wall. Needless to say I was furious at myself. See pictures for more detail. The interior of the car is also a 9 out of 10. The carpet and front seats are very, very clean with no holes or significant stains. The rear seat is immaculate and appears to have never been used. The steering wheel retains its leather wrapping and has no discoloration or tears. I redid the headliner with a heavier vinyl when I bought the car. It still looks very good. The only real issue in the cabin is the dash pad. Due to age and probably heat, it has begun to peel up on the passenger side. This would likely be an easy repair for a professional. See pictures for details. This car is currently about $500 away from making a consistent and reliable 300HP. All that needs to be done is to install an EVO 8 MAF and have it retuned. The car runs perfectly now, but is not at its full power potential. Estimated power levels as the car stands now is probably around 200-215 awhp. EVERYTHING ON THIS CAR WORKS!!! Cruise control Headlights Brake lights Fog lights Interior lights Trunk lights Signal Indicators Radio Rear windshield wiper Front windshield wiper Front and rear washers Rear defrost Power windows Power locks Seatbelts Emergency brake Horn Emergency flashers Glove box Sunroof Air conditioning and heat Dash dimmer switch This car has been tastefully modified. Some things I upgraded along the way as some parts grew old and needed replacing, others I did in pursuit of increased performance. None of the modifications I have done scream ricer, or high school rat rod. Even the exhaust is 2.5" with a Magnaflow muffler to keep the noise down (hardly any droning either, which is nice). It should be noted that I live in a non-emissions test county thus the car does not currently have a catalytic converter installed. There is a test pipe bolted in currently and it is an easy swap to have a converter installed.

Nissan CEO plans to deliver 'raw details of the misconduct' to Renault
Tue, Dec 18 2018TOKYO/PARIS — Nissan Motor's CEO plans to meet one-on-one with the deputy CEO of automaking partner Renault in Amsterdam this week, sources told Reuters, amid tensions over the future of the alliance after Chairman Carlos Ghosn's arrest last month. The meeting would be the first face-to-face interaction between Nissan's Hiroto Saikawa and Renault's Thierry Bollore since Ghosn was arrested on Nov. 19 in Tokyo. It would take place alongside regular top-level, monthly talks between the partners and Mitsubishi Motor Corp that will be held over two days from Tuesday, according to one of the sources familiar with the matter. Saikawa, who took over from Ghosn as CEO last year, is planning to discuss at the meeting with Bollore possible changes to the partnership's management and operations with an eye to continuing the alliance, another source who is close to Nissan's management said. The talks in Amsterdam could provide Saikawa with an opportunity to try and convince Renault executives of the gravity of Ghosn's alleged misconduct discovered during an in-house investigation by the Japanese automaker. They are being held a day after Saikawa rebuffed a demand from Renault for an extraordinary shareholder meeting that would have offered the French car maker a chance to weigh in on Ghosn's replacement as chairman and on other Nissan board appointments. Mitsubishi Chairman Osamu Masuko said late on Monday he will attend the Amsterdam meetings via video conference. A Nissan spokesman said Saikawa would attend meetings with alliance partners in Amsterdam from Tuesday, but declined to comment on the possibility of the one-on-one meeting with Bollore. Ghosn was charged last week alongside alleged accomplice Greg Kelly and Nissan itself over the company's failure to declare $43 million in deferred income that Ghosn had arranged to be paid while chairman and CEO. Both men remain in custody. The scandal has shaken the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, with Saikawa calling for changes to weaken Renault's control as he moved to oust Ghosn in the week of his arrest. Renault directors were briefed last week on the Nissan investigation that led to Ghosn's arrest but reiterated their earlier decision to keep him in office as chairman and CEO. But the Renault board has yet to be given direct access to Nissan's findings, which are being closely held by Renault lawyers answering to Ghosn's long-standing chief of staff and head of legal affairs at Renault, Mouna Sepehri.
Mitsubishi boss says US operations may break even next year
Sat, 23 Nov 2013Mitsubishi has lost money in its North America operations every year since 2007, but in an interview at this week's Tokyo Motor Show, company president Osamu Masuko said, "If things keep going well, it might be the case that we break even this year," Automotive News reports.
A little context: Last month Mitsubishi predicted that it would lower its operating loss in the region to 4-billion yen ($40.7 million) by March 31, the end of the fiscal year, well below the previous fiscal year's operating loss of more than five times that amount. Reflecting that, production at the Japanese automaker's sole North American factory in Normal, Illinois, has grown to 56,630 vehicles through October, compared to 27,339 through the same period last year.
The plant makes the Outlander Sport for the US and for export to markets such as Russia, the Middle East and Latin America. Interestingly, out of the 56,630 Outlander Sports built at the Illinois plant through October, only 20,150 were sold in the US.
New Mitsubishi Outlander PHEVs coming to Frankfurt
Tue, Sep 1 2015Mitsubishi is following the unveiling of the heavily refreshed 2016 Outlander at the 2015 New York Auto Show with the European debut of the plug-in hybrid version at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. The PHEV goes on sale there in September, and a rally-prepped PHEV Outlander is taking part in the Baja Portalegre 500 in Portugal in October. Rumors suggest that the updated plug-in model might come to the US in early 2016. Mechanically, the Outlander PHEV retains separate motors to power the front and rear wheels, but the company has some revisions for the system to make it more efficient. Emissions are cut thanks to reduced engine friction, and acceleration is reportedly quicker, too. In large part, the 2016 PHEV carries over all of the styling and mechanical updates of its non-electrified sibling. That includes the completely new front end that mixes chrome and gloss black for a more interesting look. The plug-in gets a few design cues of its own, including a different shape for the lower bumpers, less chrome down the sides, and some body-color trim. It also rides on a set of two-tone 18-inch wheels. Inside, there's a four-spoke steering wheel and brown, and black leathers are available. Previously offered on the Japanese model, European customers now get access to the Outlander PHEV's vehicle-to-home power system. The tech allows owners to plug in their CUV and provide electricity to their house from the vehicle's battery.
