    60 years already ... https://www.topgear.com.ph/features/...ef=home_feed_1

    And my favorites are still the Lancer and 1st gen Pajero

    Remember the Celeste? This was reportedly named after a singer back then.

    At one time in our automotive history, Mitsubishi was one of a handful of auto makers who remained in the country during the dark days of our economic downturn/s in the marcosian years of the early to mid-1980s.

    If what I remember is correct- Toyota practically left our shores, Honda wasn't interested in selling here yet, and the other car manufacturers wouldn't touch our roads w/ a 10 foot pole because the outlook for our country wasn't good.
