carcrasher88 2011-05-26 17:15	Question: I just randomly came across a new model, the Delica D2, which was introduced in February. I searched the web, and found SOME information, but it lists nothing of the transmissions, or cylinders (although it's 1292cc displacement should be a hint). It's got all of the dimensions, and I've found some good pics. Should I wait to find more info, or could it be sufficient for now?
carcrasher88 2011-05-26 19:59	Ok, disregard the above question. I finished the Delica D2 page. Hopefully it's sufficient.
JFK 2015-09-11 19:47	I found on one magazine in report about Dakar 2006 werid looking self-appointed Mitsubishi Terrano. I think that it is meant to be joke, since i did not found out anything on internet about it: Magazine says, quote: Mitsubishi Terrano (?!?) - One of the worst looking car (and worst made) was driven in Dakar convoy by Miguel Prieto from Spain. Because 3rd stage was already in africa, this car could look into black continent. I dont remember that this car, which is odd (starts with the name), could make it into 3rd or 4th stage. This year it was not different. I googled the driver and I did not found anything about that he was driving that 90s looking beated up Dakar racing pickup.
Desscythe17 2016-02-24 19:10	Is it possible (in the 1990 results) to fix it so that the Diamante Wagon (1993) is in front of the Diamante Wagon (1993-1997)? It's a very minor problem, but it bothers me nonetheless.

kylebuilder 2017-04-28 06:39	Anyone want to add the Mitsubishi V3000 to this site? its basically a 5th Gen Mitsubishi Galant with a 3.0 6G72 powerplant shoved into the engine bay. They were fairly successful in New Zealand during the late 80s and early 90s. -- Last edit: 2017-04-28 06:41:17

As I don't really see any visual differences, it would be merged with the Magna anyway.
carcrazedalex586 2017-06-21 18:55	Did Mitsubishi's quality drop? I heard the Lancer is a bad car nowadays.
Desscythe17 2017-06-21 23:56	carcrazedalex586 wrote Did Mitsubishi's quality drop? I heard the Lancer is a bad car nowadays. I think that has more to do with the fact that the latest Lancer is 10 years old and has had barely any changes under the skin since. Speaking of Mitsubishi in general, they have failed to innovate, and all their models are outdated. The recent takeover by Nissan might change that, but for now we have to see what they will do. -- Last edit: 2017-06-21 23:58:03
