Mitsubishi has been in trouble for at least four years already. Even if they go under, there are still lots of dealers trading in Mitsubishi parts. It should be okay. They're not going to die out completely, but it's going to take a long time for Mitsu to rebuild.

malakas pa din Mitsubishi Heavy Industries yun pang construction nila. baka nga hobby company lang yan mitsu motors, tulad ng ng Hyundai & Daewoo ng Korea. puros pang heavy equipments.

There is no such thing as a "hobby company". They are losing billions of dollars and nobody wants to bail them out. They were expecting the new Eclipse would help Mitsu's sales but I have only seen 2 on the road since it came out.

hmmm....aabangan ko na yung closeout sale ng mga evo 9 :D

sa popular models, in-place na ang supply ng mga replacement...

pero kung warranty ang habol... doon ang problema

DAMN! I just got our Grandis last week!

besides the lancer would probably have lower resale value after 5 years as compared to an altis or civic. or even a mazda3.

I don't think a huge company like Mitsubishi will totally close down. They may be losing money in certain geographical regions, but actually earning a profit in the Philippines or other areas. And also, Mitsubishi has its own plant here in the Philippines. If it is earning a profit selling vehicles to local consumers, they will keep it afloat (although new vehicle designs may be slow in coming).

I think the news links you posted are more than 1 year old, and here we are with Mitsu coming out with a 2005 model.

Kung totally malugi man ang Mitsubishi, it will most likely be taken over by a much larger auto maker and keep the name. Meaning, yung management ang nalulugi, not the brand itself. As a rough analogy, Red Ribbon being bought by Jollibee. Pero Red Ribbon pa rin ang pangalan niya, at hindi naman nabago yung menu. So they may continue supporting your Lancer vehicle for many years, eventhough Mitsubishi is now owned by DaimlerChrysler for example.

By the way, for a more recent news, read this news article about the huge loss of Ford Motors in the states.

But if you look at it here in the Philippines, Ford is selling briskly and may not be affected by it.

Just like when Hyundai bought Kia.

Just like when Hyundai bought Kia.

Or when Mercedes-Benz bought McLaren.

mitsu heavy industries is a different story it is tied up with the us based CAT heavy equipments

[ale828]

Mitsubishi still has a total vehicle sales bigger than honda and nissan here in the philippines. its commercial vehicles and trucks segments seem to be pushing its sales. So its really doubtful if they will close shop here. They are consistently in the top 3 in total vehicle sales.

[backbone]

narinig ko magsasara sila pag gabi tapos kinabukasan open uli!!!!

[A121]

nope. alam ko may bago silang restructuring plan at kumikita na ulit sila.

[squala]

They should just cut down their model lineup, continuing to build only the cars that sell well. That way, they can make them better, winning over more buyers in the future.

[bruquee]

hmmm. mitsubishi motors is not yet dead. but neither is mitsubishi making any money yet. they are just projected to lose less for this fiscal year compared to last year's mind boggling $4.7 billion loss.

[niky]

Ford is losing money, but it's big, it'll survive. Ford's subsidiaries, Volvo, Mazda and Aston, are doing relatively well.

Mitsubishi is still losing money, and it's not going to be a big player internationally in the future, but its sales in the Asian market are still good. Look at Isuzu... it's all but dead in the private automotive market (no new models for how long... Alterra/D-Max doesn't count, that's a shared platform) but it's still going strong in sales in the ASEAN.

If you're buying a new Mitsu, I wouldn't worry at all.

[number001]

AFAIK, Daimler Chrysler has written off its equity investment (in Mitsubishi Motors) as a loss for their financial results for the fiscal period of 2005.

I really liked the Grandis but after hearing alot of this Mitsubishi Motors Close-down tales with greater frequency in the past months and as well as Mitsubishi's poor resale value in the Philippines, I decided to look elsewhere.

Btw, Mitsubishi Grandis is a big seller in Singapore. Almost every street has one! Turn right, left, etc there's bound to be a Grandis there!

Ps: I know of someone who has reacted too rashly and irrationally to these (un)confirmed Mitsubishi Motors close-down hearsay/tales, by having their fleet of mitsubishi vehicles replaced immediately the very minute they heard this "news". What a waste, some of the vehicles are still new.
