The word RARE is way overused in the automobile re-sale market. To the point, it's almost rare not to see the word. This car was imported by Mitsubishi from 83-89. Only 10,655 produced in 1988. (all markets, all models) In 1987-89 they came to the US with the wide body (AKA fatty / flared fenders) and inter-cooled turbo. The 2.6L IC turbo engine produced 197 HP. with 220 lb ft of torque in a 2,700 lb car. An automatic transmission was not common in this car either.  This is a true survivor. I bought this from a friend of mine 4 years ago. It was sitting in her garage. (51 year old woman) in S. Arizona. She bought it new in Florida and moved it out here many years ago. It has the original Leather interior still in great shape. Everything is stock!!!! Radio and all. No cuts or holes or cracks in the dash or anywhere. The exterior is all original including the wheels and paint. The front spoiler has a break in it,(see pic) from a parking curb.  The only other visual issue is a few drops of battery fluid dropped on the left hid-a-way head light, otherwise in good shape. No dents no scratches. Now we might be approaching rare. If you don’t think so, try to find one on ebay or autotrader for sale!! Anywhere, Any year, any transmission, any condition.   The Transmission was rebuilt a few years ago, but has very few miles since. shifts very positive. The tires look new but are 5 or 6 years old. I've been driving it back and forth to work (9 miles one way) and makes a great commuter and decent mileage. No suspension parts have ever been changed but it still drives tight. Could probably use some shocks/struts and new tires for a better ride and fun factor. (rides like it has 25 year old shocks and bushings and 10 your old tires) is a little harsh right now) Engine starts easy, runs great and when the boost kicks in, it pulls great. Mitsubishi Starion has a race car pedigree. (SEE Wikipedia for more info) This car has independent rear suspension with rear wheel drive and 4 wheel disc brakes. Came factory with 205/55 - 16 tires on the front and 225/50 - 16 on the rear. This would make a great auto cross car and were popular as a tuners. The heater works good but the indication lights in the dash are intermittent.  If you have any questions please ask before bidding.

 The car is equipped with Air Conditioning. All the parts are in tact but clutch doesn't engage when turned on. Will require some work.

Mitsubishi to showcase eX crossover concept in Tokyo

Fri, Oct 9 2015

The Tokyo Motor Show is coming up at the end of the month, and Mitsubishi isn't about to sit it out. That's where the Diamond Star automaker will unveil the eX Concept pictured here. The electric crossover concept packs what the company terms as a "next-generation EV system" into what looks at first blush like a rather dramatic design. Mitsubishi is telling us next to nothing about the eX and its specifications. However, it indicates that the concept incorporates an all-electric powertrain, all-wheel drive, an automated driving system, vehicle connectivity, and active safety systems. The automaker has also only revealed the one rendering above, but it bears all the hallmarks of a modern Mitsubishi concept like the ones we've seen in recent years. That includes the company's signature Diamond Shield front grille, flanked by narrow, angular headlights and oversized running lamps. Naturally, this concept rides on oversized wheels and boasts spindly little mirrors, all in an effort to tell us this is a bonafide show car and not a pre-production prototype. We'll look forward to seeing more in the near future, but in the meantime you can delve into what little Mitsubishi is telling us at this point in the press release below.

Mitsubishi leaving US? No, it's doubling its marketing budget

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

We rarely hear any major news coming out of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) annual meeting in Orlando, FL, but Mitsubishi executives found this a fitting place to announce a big push for increased advertising here in the US. A report in Automotive News states that the struggling Japanese automaker is returning to advertising in prime time television for the first time since 2005, with the push slated to begin in June and July for the launch of the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander shown above.
Despite dwindling sales and a shrinking lineup, Mitsubishi's new North American chairman, Gayu Uesugi, has said on multiple occasions that the automaker has no plans to abandon the US market. Spending extra money on marketing and advertising should be a good start to help improve sales, but a lack of fresh and competitive products is also keeping showrooms empty. Aside from the new Outlander, the AN report says that Mitsubishi spokesman Roger Yasukawa said that a "yet-to-be-named subcompact" will arrive this year, which suggests the unnamed hatchback shown below (known elsewhere as the Mirage), could be heading to the US after its North American introduction at the Montreal Auto Show last month.
