I have a 2011 Endeavor SUV
It's built like a tank. It still looks like a brand new vehicle. Such a great vehicle for Canadian climate.
They definitely made dozens of good cars in the past. I think they dropped the evo and colt due to ongoing efforts to become SUV/Offroad automaker only.

Is it reliable though? I wouldn't think so.
Mitsubishi cars are the only brand that Japanese people avoid buying due to poor safety.
Why wouldn't you think so? Safety doesn't equal reliability.
The powertrain used in this vehicle is solid as a rock.
Mitsubishi Motors in Illinois is officially closed
The Japanese automaker said it decided to close the plant because of diminishing sales. Production at the plant fell to 64,000 vehicles from more than 200,000 in 2002. The facility was one of the largest employers in the Bloomington-Normal area.
Safety doesn't equal reliability? You couldn't be more incorrect.
I think you meant safety doesn't equal reliability of the engine/powertrain.
But safety has A LOT to do with reliability and I would think that most people would place safety as their top priority when purchasing a car.
Mitsubishi used to have some sales in the US and now they're almost non-existent.

Mitsubishi went from being one of the most popular car brands in the US to almost non-existent.
Safety is the vehicle protecting its occupants from mortality and morbidity. This is typically at the expense of everything outside the car, be it sheet metal, organisms like deer or trees, or even other humans.
Reliability is the vehicle's systems and individual items not failing. And normally, it's about the systems that get the car moving or creature comforts you cannot live without(AC).
Where safety and reliability meet are in systems like the air bag system or the longevity of components in the suspension, etc.
As far as safety goes, civilian cars and trucks are laughably vulnerable compared to armored vehicles.
Yet armored vehicles can't be compared to cars.
It's like comparing a car to a house.
Doesn't make any logical sense to make an analogous comparison.

It's a shame really. They had a chance at greatness in the early 2000's. The evo was a halo hit, pajero/montero was selling well globally and could have been a U.S. success, mirage was a solid entry level econobox, galant was a family sedan contender, and eclipse was....already a bloated pig.
Unfortunately they let every one of their vehicles go stale with refresh cycles of 6-10 years. Fast forward a decade and you've got Hyundai and Kia eating Mitsu alive.
With only one new design on the lot in the Outlander they are in the deathwatch category.

Gov't says Mitsubishi Motors cheated on mileage by up to 16%
Damn. My mom literally just bought a '15 Lancer (in February, at a fairly steep discount). I guess the time is right to trade it in August for a Genesis Coupe.
