@sami..
I often think about this...
There is a myriad of companies using Mitsubishi stuff under the skin! Does Mitsubishi even benefit from all of this?
Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth had been rebadging Mitsus and selling them as their vehicles since early 80s!...
DSM was all about Mitsubishi
Proton was all about Mitsubishi
Dodge/Chrysler/Proton/Hyundai/Kia are using or have used Mitsu engines at some point!
These brands have used Mitsubishi platforms for a long long time!
Smart ForFour was entirely based on the Colt!
Dodge Challenger was based on Galant Coupe!
Mitsubishi built lots of "Jeeps" a long time ago!
Nissan Otti is a rebadged Mitsubishi eK (kei car)
BMW used Mitsubishi turbo under the new BMW 335i Coupes' hood!
And it seems like the whole of China is using Mitsubishi engines under their Cloned cars!
For instance, BYD/Chery etc etc.
The list of Mitsu's collaborations goes ON and ON and ON!..
I know most of this comes under Mitsu's alliance with DaimlerChrysler, but how much did Mitsubishi benefit from all of this?? :S
