3000gt was amazing during its time but if you ever owned one you realize how quick that car goes from amazing to nightmare. Its very tight engine bay comparable to the 300zx, its weight and ultimately the lack of tuning potential ultimately killed that car from ever reaching legendary status. Supra, gtr, evo, civics all had the aftermarket and tuning support needed for them to reach those legendary status we see now not to mention f2f. Vr4 not so much

My first ever Mitsu was a 1995 Evo that was louder at the intake then it was at the exhaust. I then got a Cayenne Red Pearl 1998 Eclipse. That was the most fun driving through little back roads in the mountains. My last was a Galant. It was the perfect family car that was still fun to drive. After an illness made me paralyzed in 2016 I gave it to my sister and she still drives it and looks like new.

I think a very important, or rather a few important notes here would be: 1) Mitsubishi Motors is NOT even a part of the Mitsubishi Group's core. Mitsubishi Motors is a small part of Mitsubishi and was formerly a subsidiary under Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. 2) Mitsubishi Motor's change from "passion" cars to more practical ones have actually boosted their business revenues and is a very strong brand outside of N. America. In many places, Mitsubishi often rivals Toyota. So, downfall? Hardly. Mitsubishi is primarily a financial, heavy machinery, mining, energy, electrical, and defense industries that makes cars on the sidelines.

Mitsubishi was once great, even building a rival to the skyline GT-R - The GTO twin turbo, a car that beat the skyline on paper. They had the eclipse, a strong rival in the entry level market. And of course, the lancer Evo, the rally bred monster machine that ate everything in it's path. But now, the eclipse is an SUV and the last time Mitsubishi made a turbocharged 2 door car was the aforementioned GTO, which lasted only 1 generation. Even the Evo X was a shadow of the previous cars.

Fun Fact, the Mitsubishi plant in Bloomington/Normal is now the Rivian plant. Growing up in the area, I give Mitsubishi the credit for my love of JDM cars. Was sad to see them leave, but I think the eclipse cross is even more depressing. Really wish they wouldn't have tainted the eclipse name like that lol. Hoping they can bounce back as well! Great Video Donut!!!

Canadian owner the past 9 years of my Evo 5. Love it. Fiance has an Evo 6 and those will be sitting in our garage soon. With the possibility of the 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV sitting outside during the winter 😅. Been our dream to have our CP9As in the garage together. Much as I want Mitsubishi to come out with another Evo. It's best to leave things as they are now. Also nice seeing the 3,8 and Eclipse in all Silver. Our Evos and Outlander are too! 😅

I know everyone hates them, but I had a 4th gen eclipse gt. I loved the thing, had it up to around 180k miles until a shop broke the engine when working on it, and it just wasn't worth fixing at that point and they denied it. I would often race and beat similar cars like mustangs and other sports cars. Then of course they killed the eclipse and brought it back as a crossover which was a slap in every eclipse owners face.

probably the same thing as every other manufacturer. all these car enthusiasts say "omg what a great car... can't wait to buy it after 10 years in the second hand market." and combine that with the fact that these sportier cars are sold far less often, you get an overall stupid financial decision for manufacturers to make "cool" cars. not to mention the ongoing trend of older people typically being the only demographic with enough money to buy cars and what's the deal with older people? they don't want a low riding, stiffer than rocks suspension, extreme NVH sports car. they want something more quiet, comfortable, easy to use so why should manufacturers cater to a minority? they go out all their way to make a car that enthusiasts like, only to find out that they complain about anything and everything, and only 10-20% of this demographic actually has money to buy the car to begin with...

Exactly they expect Mitsubishi to make costly cars that sell in low volumes , even though the company was struggling financially. It's not very realistic.

My wife drives an Outlander, and it has been a really reliable car. My last car was a 2011 Outlander, and it was honestly a really well designed SUV for practicality. The Mitsubishi dealer tried to get us in the door to look at a new Outlander when my wife brought hers in for maintenance, and they were making some pretty tempting offers. We went in to talk about it, and apparently it was a big lie to get us in the door. They couldn't do anything much on Outlanders, but they were willing to give great deals on the Eclipse Cross! We walked over to look at one, and we were both like "nah, this thing is junk". We were so pissed off that they wasted our time. Also, I was just in Aruba, and there were really cool Mitsubishis all over the place. A lot of things that I've never seen before.

@@jeremyjohnson2129 ..yeah on a 3rd gen prius, to replace the headlight housing theres 3 bolts to remove each one.. 2 are easily accessable from the top, but of course that 3rd bolt is hidden under the bumper, so you gotta waste an extra 30mins or more and drop the whole front for that one stupid screw.. ..And to swap the spark plugs, you gotta take off the windshield wipers/motor and the 30 bolts holding the housing its attached too.. I had a 79 Malibu that blew its water pump a block from an auto zone once, and fixed it and the belt in under 30mins.. im gettin to old for this!

Subaru is the worse car to work on for a mechanic with those boxer engines. Even the current boxer engines are not that great , they burn oil like crazy Honda was also on a decline , the last gen crv had oil dilution and failed head gaskets, Mitsubishi current engines are much more reliable than subaru and honda

All Mitsubishi would have to do is come out with a proper Evo or Eclipse concept car (not some crossover bullshit) with likelihood of making production and people would care again, it's not rocket science

@@dawsongranger4940 It doesn’t have to. If Mitsubishi created a banging Evo (and sold a coupe version called the Eclipse), had it beat out the other hot econo cars like the Civic Type R, Elantra N, WRX/STI, Golf R etc. and sold it at a reasonable price but in limited quantities at first they’d sell fast. Yes it would likely be a Loss Leader (economic term I recommend looking up), but like Toyota has done for coming on 3 decades of loss leaders in the LS400, Lexus LFA and now GR corolla, the Evo/Eclipse would easily win over the enthusiast car market that’s been left dead in the water for decades and the surrounding hype would bring up sales across the brand’s fleet. The cars they do sell are fine now, they just need to get their name known for making good cars for both the enthusiast and casual crowd again.

@@dawsongranger4940 The point of sports cars/halo cars isn't to make money and never has been, it's to get people interested in the brand. Donut even did a whole video on this. They go into it knowing they will lose money, but be able to showcase their designs and engineering. A car company only interested in bean counting is one most of us will stop caring about quickly

I had a 4G 2008 Eclipse for over 10 years as my first car. I always told myself I was gonna turbo it like every other teenager, but instead just did maintenance throughout the years and used my money elsewhere in life. Truly a great first car even if I couldn't go all out like a true JDM nerd. I always wanted a 2G, 3Gs were meh, EVOs and 350Z were out of the price range, so when the 4G came around I was going into my freshman year in high school and I couldn't be happier when I got one used my junior year (in part thanks to my dad and a job at Coldstone). There's some truly great modded 4Gs out there and there was a turbo kit I was interested in for awhile. The wheel wells were notoriously high up so it benefited from a lowered stance. Most body kits were too gaudy, but others really made the 4G light up like you're playing a Midnight Club or N4S game. It was never as agile as a Miata or as powerful as a 350Z but it was a great cruiser. It had its niche and I was a proud to have hit the 10 year mark with many memories in that car like first kisses, friends, road trips around the US, etc.

And the new generation ASX (which is the RVR in North America) is just a rebadged Renault Captur. At least the ASX is no longer outdated. But because it's now a rebadged Renault Captur, it's not coming to North America as a next gen RVR. I'm sure the RVR got discontinued in North America after 2021.

It is part of the shitboxes hey. Also have an Outlander sport, what donut doesn’t get is that these are the bread and butter cars that actually male they money, if the base is sorted they can yet again start to pursue some exciting vehicles that sells 1 for every 100 appliances. Maybe im a shit box but the appeal of these crossovers are small, easy to use family cars that are uncomplicated and reliable. It doesnt come close to our A3 in terms of quality feel and ride, but why am i having sleepless nights about the audi being out of maintenance plan next year?
