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.

Carlos Ghosn to make first public appearance in seven weeks on Tuesday
Sat, Jan 5 2019Ousted Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn is set to make his first public appearance in seven weeks at a Tokyo court on Tuesday after he requested an open hearing to hear the reason for his continued detention. Ghosn has been held in a detention center since his Nov. 19 arrest on allegations of financial misconduct, which was followed by re-arrests over further allegations. The hearing will take place at 10:30 local time (0130 GMT) on Jan. 8, the Tokyo District Court said on Friday. The reason behind the timing of Ghosn's request was not clear. Earlier this week, the court approved an extension to Ghosn's detention until Jan. 11, after re-arrest by prosecutors who accuse him of aggravated breach of trust in transferring personal investment losses to Nissan. Those allegations center on the use of company funds to pay a Saudi businessman who is believed to have helped him out of financial difficulties, sources said last week. According to an article from The New York Times, Ghosn and his family assert that he is innocent. In remarks Ghosn made while under detention in Japan, he is reported to have said through his lawyer, "I want to have my position heard and restore my honor in court." Former Nissan executive Greg Kelly, who has been charged with conspiring to under-report Ghosn's income, has been released on bail after the court ruled against extending his detention while he awaits trial. Ghosn's arrest was followed by his removal from roles at Nissan and Mitsubishi. The case has rocked the auto industry and strained Nissan's ties with French partner Renault where Ghosn still remains chairman and chief executive. Renault has launched a search for an interim chief to fill Ghosn's roll at the French company as he deals with these legal cases in Japan. The arrest has also put some of the practices of Japan's criminal justice system under international scrutiny, including keeping suspects in detention for long periods and prohibiting defense lawyers from being present during interrogations.

Mitsubishi planning three all-new concepts for Tokyo show
Tue, 08 Oct 2013Even with new models like the 2014 Outlander and Mirage in its stable, Mitsubishi could sure use a little excitement injected into its lineup. Fortunately, it looks like a trio of concepts headed to the Tokyo Motor Show could finally help spark some enthusiasm for the troubled automaker.
All we have to go on right now is a pair of teaser images for the three concepts, but it does reveal a possible new design language for Mitsubishi. The Concept GC-PHEV (shown above) is a fullsize, plug-in utility vehicle, and it could very well be a harbinger of the Montero/Pajero replacement that we heard about earlier this year. Mitsubishi will also unveil a compact plug-in crossover called the Concept XR-PHEV designed to look like a "sport coupe" as well as the Concept AR compact MPV, which will utilize a small-displacement, turbocharged engine.
There is still no word on the next-gen Lancer, Galant or subcompact sedan mentioned in recent reports, but the announcement below does show promise for Mitsubishi's lineup of plug-in cars.
