Isn't Volvo Truck trying to buy most of UD/Nissan Diesel, and doesn't DCX still own most of Mitsubishi Fuso? I've heard about that rule Stuart mentioned before, but I don't think it's 1/3rd. I mean, Ford owns slightly OVER one-third of Mazda, and that's the majority (over 50%) of Mazda's voting shares. Clarify!

I know you guys are fanboys by the way you get aroused to any good news about Japanese car companies and or bad news about American companies. Seriously. I love all cars so you can't say im biased towards any country. But you guys who get off on starting arguments over how good or bad a company is doing is pretty pathetic. Just kills a good topic.

Eclipse over Talon. 3000GT over Stealth. See the pattern retard? Even the Raider is some much better looking then the Dakota. It's a shame it doesn't sell better.

Which is good and bad. Either way anyone that blame DCX for their misfortunes are plain stupid when you consider that the cars currently coming out of mitsubishi are the cars designed under DCX and will remain this way for at least te next 3 to 4 years. After that Mitsu will be completely free from DCX and will have to survive on their own. Mitusbishi are on the verge of pulling out of america and only getting bigger in europe and japans.
