We live in a global market. If support for Mitsu here in North America is cut off, OEM parts would still be available shipped from other markets. Besides, how many people here actually replace parts with OEM when there is &*%# load of Performance Parts available out there.

Some OEM parts don't have performance part replacements. Have fun replacing your dash, gauge cluster, control arms, etc. with performance parts

as old DSM heads, we've been hearing about Mitsu going out of business for as long as I can remember. Let's just hope they can keep themselves going until this world economy turns around a little.

This about sums up what I hope is good positive journalism for Mitsu instead of all the gloom and doom in every review I've read of their products. Its from Car and Driver about the Outlander GT:

The S-AWC system is the sort of high-end technology gadget that Japanese delight in and Americans wonder why anybody wanting a family wagon would spend the extra money for. In the recent past, when Mitsubishi was trying—unsuccessfully—to be a more American company, S-AWC would have been left off U.S.-bound models. But Mitsubishi is trying to be more Japanese again, partly to turn back the clock to a happier time when its cars had movable wings and electronic all-wheel drive and other wondrous widgets—and a hard-core group of Americans loved them for it.

I'm actually interested in this crossover- Mitsu shouldn't try to be the volume leader, but rather a make who offers special vehicles or maybe even concentrate on the real small cars since nobody else will market them.
If Mitsubishi can come out with two or three more interesting cars, they might appeal to a potential nissan or hyundai customer. not like they will replace toyota or honda- so they should just try for the niche and tech car segment.
