A Japanese car company 33% owned by DaimlerChrysler, but now swimming in debt because of poor decisions made by Mitsubishi. Ugly, poor quality cars that were targeted toward boy racers but now sit on rental lots or sell with huge rebates. In 2004, Mitsubishi lost $4.3 billion dollars, and the future outlook isn't very bright. They were recently accused of a scandal of hiding quality defects, in turn destroying the company's already poor image and killing the resale value of the cars. They currently rank near the bottom for long-term quality in the JD Powers survey. The company will more than likely be out of the US market by the end of the decade.

See 3000GT
The Mitsubishi GTO is an AWD (All Wheel Drive) sports grand tourer built by the Japanese auto maker Mitsubishi Motors from 1990 to 2001. In most export markets it was rebadged as the Mitsubishi 3000GT, including the United States. It was also exported to the US under Chrysler as the Dodge Stealth. The base variant of the GTO/3000GT/Stealth R/T featured a DOHC 24V V6 engine, with the basic Dodge Stealth having a significantly less powerful SOHC 12V V6. The GTO MR, 3000GT VR-4, and Stealth R/T Twin Turbo all featured the same DOHC 24V V6 Twin Turbo engine. Through the years many different variants have become available for the GTO in all of its generations. The first generation was available from 1990-1993, the second from 1994-1996, and the third and final from 1997-2001. Rather than full blown exterior changes for each generation, only performance adjustments and minor cosmetic changes were made from generation to generation.
