Despite posting a three-percent increase in sales year-over-year in 2010, Mitsubishi is struggling here in the United States. The huge majority of the products in the automaker's portfolio are slow-sellers, with only the Lancer & Outlander families gaining much in the way of high praise from both the media & consumers similar. Still, Mitsubishi has designs to soldier on, & a document from Automotive News states that the Japanese automaker is looking to shift production of a few of its sedans & crossovers to the United States within the next two years.
Currently, the automaker's plant in Normal, new york builds the Galant, Endeavor & Eclipse, but these vehicles are scheduled to be phased out by 2013. Moving forward, Mitsubishi's new relatives of vehicles based on the platform that underpins the Lancer, Outlander & Outlander Sport - vehicles that are currently built in Japan - will be assembled in new york. Currently, Mitsubishi has not cited any designs to generate replacements for any of the outgoing models currently built here in america.
