Well, I've got a 2000 Mitsu Gallant as a daily driver. it is serving me well with 125k on the odometer.I dont think I will miss them in the U.S. market. Parts I think would still be available. I am originally from the Philippines and Mitsu products are well respected there for their realibility and lower costs compared to Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Just like here Mitsu is being choked out of the market by their Korean counterparts ... I guess it's survival of the fittest..
I also used to be a big Volvo Guy. Used to own 7 Volvo 240s..LOL. One for me, one for the wife and one each for my five kids! They all learned to drive in Volvo 240! Needless to say, I have spent many hours in junkyards pulling out relays, misc parts, ECUs and yes wiring harnesses!I lost interest in them when the FWD models replaced my beloved RWDs. Then Ford bought them out and that's when I stopped looking at those cars.My last Volvo was a 97 940 Turbo. Loved that car but I cant refused the trade for a 3carat solitaire diamond ring, rather my wife can't resist!LOL! Now Im retired and enjoying my 99LS and I wont be surprised if I end up with another Lexus.. Thinking of a GS????LoL! Not a bad move from Volvos to Lexus..
