The 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is one very important presence at this year's New York Auto Show but for an unusual reason.

The changes are fine, the big story here is that Mitsubishi will...

Mitsubishi's effort with electric cars may not be very popular but they're quite a few steps into it with their microscopic i-MiEV hatchback. In an effort to popularize both the car and the technological capabilities underneath its simple looking body, the Japanese company will make a spin-off prototype that they'll be sending up Pikes Peak. The infamous uphill climb race...

After a few years of quieting down, it seemed like fate finally caught up with the Mitsubishi Eclipse and it went out of production, but the story goes on. Probably because of frantic customer complaints, requests or orders, there's a pretty serious, more and more popular rumor that Mitsubishi plans on bringing it back. Nothing of what the Japanese plan...
The Japanese at Mitsubishi aren't exactly known for having a great lineup of cars and, for a few years now, even a complete one that at least covers the basics. After a few talks with Nissan started not that long in the past, it seems that Mitsubishi are climbing their way back into contention on that front. Here's the deal,...

It's an increase of $1.135 from the last sticker situation on...

The Japanese at Mitsubishi are confronting a bit of a PR problem lately and it is easy to see why it's not going to go away for a while. Apparently the recent public relations disaster is related to how there's a rumor going round about Mitsubishi's star product is dying. I don't know exactly how or where did the rumor...
Yes fans and addicts, the Geneva Motor Show has opened its doors for 2011 and there's lots of exciting stuff to see behind them.

We had the rumor, and now we have confirmation from the Japanese at Mitsubishi themselves.
