Mitsubishi will not be launching any new cars to replace their existing European line up. The new Outlander and Mirage will launch elsewhere as they concentrate on mire profitable markets in SE Asia in the future. EU markets are becoming increasingly costly (due to corporate CO2 emission legislation) and difficult to make a profit on low margin low volume sales. My guess is Ssang Yong (which is up for sale due to heavy losses), Suzuki, Subaru and probably Honda will follow before too long. Maybe time to ditch your Outlander PHEV....

    It shows how other markets are not as anti-car.

    Anti car? or more aware of what they are/were doing to their populations,  where as can be seen by the polution levels where they still have markets no real care

    I find myself in agreement with you.  

    I am now going for a long lie down in a darkened room.
