Default Proof that the eclipse sucks!!!!

I was sitting in my business class flipping though my text book becuase I dont like my teacher(she is a red neck nascar fan) any who I came across this page in my book




I deiced to read it and just to give you guys a taste of it

"Abnormal things are happening in normal, IL, home of mitsubishi's only us plant. In 1998 the plant's productivity was the lowest of all car factories in america....about 20 percent of the vehicles being produced needed some kind of repair or adjustment"

I then though to my self in 98 mitsubishi was making the eclipse, galant, dimante, montero, endevor, and I think the 3000gt. 6 divided by 100% is 16.7 percent... and I am pretty sure it wasent the montero or galant that was a piece of ****. Just figured I would share.

Well with that last statement of "and I am pretty sure it wasent the montero or galant that was a piece of ****." You haven't worked on a Galant or dealt with the problems that they are...

You can't say that the Eclipse sucks just because of that article. 20% is average for most auto makers, and being that Mitsubishi didn't sell as well as others is no surprise. A lot of people prefer domestic vehicles. Now, take 20% of Mitsubishi's sales and compare it to 20% of Ford or Chevy. Also take into consideration that Mitsubishi does build their cars better than any domestic company, as with most foreign makers. I wouldn't worry about it! Mitsubishi FTW!
