Mitsubishi is a shame, but they were taken down by their own internal corruption that coast them the Diamanté, which is the last real offering of distinction they've had. Rode the Eagle Talon for just about as long as humanly possible. Lincoln can survive, if they'd replace their interior design team with folks in the 21st century. Seriously, every time I see the interior of a Lincoln, I think Mork n' Mindy. Last car they produced that ever caught my eye was the first generation Mitsubishi Diamanté knock-off...

You don't buy a Smart Car, you rent them for the back nine at the golf course...

Scion, I'll believe it when I see it. They've got a new model out that shares a badge with Subaru that I hear is fantastic and has become the darling if the racer scene. Admittedly, they made more sense when interest rates were above 6% for a car loan..

Suzuki was expected. It's interesting how Mercedes carefully keeps it's distance from Smart in US market. Don't expect Scion to disappear soon.
