The Mitsubishi Eclipse, Endeavor and Galant will be retired in the US within the next three years

The idea of global vehicles is not limited to just a few. Mitsubishi also embraces the global philosophy, announcing its intention to discontinue most of its US-built models.

Osamu Masuko, president of Mitsubishi, revealed that the global car concept will be gradually adopted by 2014. Little by little, the Eclipse, Endeavor and even the Galant will be withdrawn from the market, while the new global car is unveiled. Masuko also said that the new car will be built in Thailand and will be a city car, although it is not yet known whether it will adopt any alternative technology, but it is practically a given…

The other major pillar of Mitsubishi’s production in the US will be the iMiev, which will arrive on American soil at the end of this year. Much further down the line, we will see hybrid and electric launches from Mitsubishi, many of them aimed at emerging markets.

And one of those first models would be a vehicle based on the PX-MIEV hybrid concept, which would be unveiled this same year, the first model of Mitsubishi’s new generation.
