Mitsubishi shot themselves in the foot close to 20 years ago when they had some crazy zero-down, no payments for a year deal on Galants...they moved some metal, but Mitsubishi Motor Credit had a devil of a time collecting payments and repo-ing those cars from deadbeats. The image in my mind of Mitsubishi is a low-FICO driver, dings and dents, missing at least one wheelcover, and smoke coming from the exhaust due to poor design and poor maintenance. Everyone I know who owned one of their vehicles liked them and drove them a long time, but they just don't seem to put much effort into the US market for some reason.
