James Coolridge — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:21:17 +0000

Mitsubishi is in all efforts to make good headway in sales with an increase in production of over 12% since this time last year. But yes, it is a fact that they are still well behind the likes of Toyota and Ford who dominate the market for vehicle production. But it should be noted that the sales in the North American, Russian, Middle East and African markets have shown a big positive siding towards the Lancer and Outlander, which of course have helped Mitsubishi gaining valuable ground on their competitors.

Mitsubishi launched

its Lancer brand first in 1973 and was pretty successful in rallies. The Lancer is now on its eighth generation which started production in 2007 and over six million Lancers have been sold since its first generation launch.

Those days in which Mitsubishi needed to cover up defect problems in its vehicles are just past stories. Mitsubishi has successfully buried them back by rectifying the errors and increasing the quality of their products. Europe has taken a liking to the reliability and affordable pricing of the new vehicles on the market and now with eight major locations around the world they could start to be a force to be recon with. So does that simply mean that Toyota, Ford and BMW may have to face insomnia in the coming days?

James Coolridge — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:06:24 +0000

Would you like to get noticed on the roads? Then you should drive certain cars that that will make other look with envy on you. Adversely, buying a Ford Focus would be a terrible idea for the attention-seeker, as there roughly 12 billion of them on British roads to date. So look no further than the Mitsubishi L200.

On first impression, it may seem that L200 is Big. It is also styled in a manner that will ensure that the driver definitely wants to leave his impression firmly on other road users. The XL is curvy and quite domineering.

It has a dirty little secret however; it is practical and cheap. The L200 has more cargo space than you expect. The chunky cab comes out with an exceptional build quality that will give the Mitsubishi L200 a feel of rigidity and standard of construction that is not mirrored in some of its nearest rivals, namely the Toyota HiLux.

The L200 is pretty handy off-road thanks to the responsive four wheel drive, low-range gears and locking centre differential. It has 2.4 Litre Diesel engine which is also gutsy and eager to please either on road or dirt track.

The quality of interior manufacturing of the L200 from Mitsubishi, the Japanese car maker is also worthy of note and far superior to that of its rivals. It has leather upholstery, chic-looking dashboard, snazzy instruments and climate control that makes the car a very pleasurable one. The excellent suspension and handling makes it one of the most manoeuvrable and frankly car-like pick-ups on the market.

The current L200 model is may not create any dynamic revolution in the market. But if Mitsubishi from Japan continue to update and improve the L200 over time, it will eventually permeate and begin to dominate over its rivals.

James Coolridge — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 18:39:15 +0000

Mazda, the Japanese automaker will top the automobile market in a couple of months. Thanks to their new plan to launch the RX-8 hybrid model. Right now, Mazda has a strong clout only in Europe aside from the primary consumer market of Japan. Europe will have the privilege of employing the services of the RX-8. Mazda is planning to initiate the utilization of bio-plastic which can be drawn from plants. Bio-plastic has outstanding properties which bring beneficial role in the success of the RX-8. In its efforts to fight against

earth destruction, bumper salvaging was established to avoid additional trash in landfills. These salvaged bumpers will be utilized for newer models including the RX-8 model.

In near future, Mazda will present to the masses the beneficial contribution that hydrogen vehicle brings. The Japanese car maker will hire to take a primary seat in vehicle acquisition as a practical solution to economical issues. With the alternative application between hydrogen and gasoline, the fuel problem will hopefully be eliminated.

All vehicle owners and nature enthusiasts will get a chance to witness and participate in the launching of this exceptional car that will probably top the industry. Mazda is planning an exhibition Stavanger, Norway. The timing goes together with the launching of their first hydrogen filling station. You can view and scrutinize the Mazda RX-8 there because it is going to be displayed as well.

Since the introduction of popular RX-8 Hybrid in Europe, the availability of its auto parts is not yet determined. It is hoped that Mazda would see to it that spare parts are made available should the need for them arises. Any how, with Mazda contract hires, there will be no worries as to its servicing. Mazda leasing will also take care of the maintenance and the availability of needed parts. Fuel cost wise, leasing and hiring may increase the monetary resources. This will give a chance not only to determine the financial budget, but also to save and at the same time maintaining the good condition of the vehicle.

James Coolridge — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 18:00:16 +0000

Mitsubishi, the Japanese automaker launched Lancer Evolution in 1992 originally to give it a path into the World Rally Championship’s Group A class and the SCCA Pro rally Championship. In the beginning Evolution was only for sale in Japan originally and was crafted on the standard Mitsubishi Lancer saloon.

The car soon made a crossing to the European borders to enter the import market as a prized grey-market import. Mitsubishi realized the interest quickly and paved the way for official imports

to the UK in 1998. The very first model of Lancer Evolution had a 5 speed gearbox and a powerful 2.0 litre engine, brought together with a four wheel drive system. This car could bump out 244bhp which was pretty meaty stuff for a saloon.

The Lancer Evolution was built alongside the more family orientated Lancer Saloon. It soon evolved as a cult classic and developed respect amongst speed freaks and rally drivers alike. The Evolution IX was launched in 2006. It was the last box edged Evo off the production line before the newer model was introduced. The Mitsubishi Evolution IX came out with more improvements over the original with a new lightweight aluminium roof and a carbon fibre rear wing that was larger for better weight distribution and corner handling. The engine still was a 2.0 litre turbo with variable valve control, and really kicked in with 345 bhp controlled by a 6 speed sports box. The Evo was had an easy to handle feature that made it easy for rally drivers. The Evo was probably one of the best handling sports saloons ever made.

Even though the car’s looks have been pretty updated; it is still in tradition with the Evolution of old. This model from Mitsubishi just had a nip and tuck to remain pretty.
