DCX actually owns 50% of Mitsubishi....


This is a nitpick, but no, they don't.

First I have to say that if you step into the "Brand News, Concepts and Rumors" section of this forum, you'd know this already...

This is a joint project between DaimlerChrysler and Mitsubishi, as was the Stealth/3000GT, Stratus/Eclipse, Caliber/Lancer, Galant/Sebring/Avenger and soon will be Caravan/New Mitsu mini-van...

Secondly, DaimlerChrysler doesn't own 50% of Mitsubishi... They own about 14%, including all of the commercial truck division, Fuso. Also, they are actually in the process of selling the 14% back...

didnt feel like reading most but im gonna point out that (sorry if someone already said this ) but raider is a dodge name also remember that funky lookin (dont get me wrong it was ok) compact suv thing from the 80 and this wouldnt be the first time remember the d-50 it was either originally dodge or mitsu its hard to tell



It was originally a Mitsu product, but Dodge used it.

Umm it is a nitpick, and yes they did. Once upon a time Dodge did own that much stock in Mitsu. They have since sold most of it. They have a lot of history with Mitsu. My Stratus coupe is practially 90% Mitsubishi.

I think it's pretty sad that Mitsu has to use a name for a vehicle that has already been used. The Dodge Raider was first, which was a pretty nice suv for the time. Now Mitsu has to go and use it's name cause they can't think of there own names.

Exactly. They USED to own alot more before Mitsubishi started sucking HARD.

My bad dude, I didn't notice the date. I'm still not sure if DCx ever owned as much as 50% though... but it really doesn't bother me one way or another.
