    Bro,- from my limited discussions with Americans,- it is because Mitsubishi was a major war equipment/machine manufacturer during WWII, and with that helped kill many USAFFE soldiers.... So, they'd rather buy a Honda or a Toyota.....

    what? this is the first i've heard of this reason.:bwahaha: i pretty much grew up there and never have i once heard that reason why they stay away from mitsu. most of the reason i heard was because of the poor quality of mitsu plus bad after sales service.

    Yan din alam ko. Pero sa totoo mahina din talaga kasi naging network nang mitsu sa US kaya ganyan, bagsak sa after sales service.

    You're most probably correct bro. since you said you lived there and knows the local car industry (obviously) better, while I only visit the area every so often and get to talk only to a handful of people every time I was there(limited information). But I heard this from at least a couple of individuals.

    (Although, you said earlier that you have no idea why.... anyway)

    But come to think of it,- Toyota, Honda and Nissan are there,- but why Mitsubishi??? (in spite of its alliance for a while with DaimlerChrysler)....

    And they have these cases of hiding defects which further damaged their reputation. Suzuki also had to pull out of the North American Market because of lousy sales network

    i said i have no idea why because i've never owned a mitsu in the states, but from driving a friends lancer gt-a it seems that build quality is ok naman so i have no idea why the americans are saying that the build quality is poor. the lancers build quality isn't top notch but it isn't poor either. after sales service is terrible though based on feedbacks from pretty much every american mitsubishi owner.

    Same reasons Filipinos shun Nissan cars. Certain models have lousy reliability that damaged the brand (eg:box type Sentra, Vannette) and below par after sales.
