Mitsubishi Raider Lays Eggs in Dealership Lots





Mitsubishi asked Chrysler to temporarily stop production of the slow-selling Dodge Dakota sibling Raider as it is sitting on dealers' lots. The Raider racked up sales of just 492 units in February. Is this a real suprise? The funky styling of the Raider does nothing for me. Mitsu offers the lure of a 5/60 warranty, but it doesn't seem to be enough to win over shoppers. Remember when Mitsu and Isuzu used to supply pickups instead of marketing badge engineered models?
