I dont think we have much to worry about when it comes to mitsu pulling the plug in the american market.

I will say though, they need a competitive hybrid and small pickup as well.

I cant count that abomination that was a re-badged Dodge Dakota. The mitsubishi Raider was absolutely disgusting, inside and out.

As far as build quality coming up, I think that has alot to do with the EVO and having to compete with subaru in that market. Now, with the new outlanders, they are starting to target the likes of Kia/Hyundai.

Don't confuse the Mitsubishi Raider with the Dodge Raider, which hasn't been built for some years. The Dodge Raider was a shortened/rebadged Mitsubishi Montero. The Mitsubishi Raider was a rebadged, last-generation Dakota....and, BTW, I agree with you. I wasn't much impressed with it either, although I'd have to say that the Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon was even worse.....those two were beyond disgusting.

As far as Hyundai/Kia is concerned, Josh, have you considered a Santa Fe? I think highly of that vehicle, and those I know who have the 2Gen model are well-pleased with it.
