[crisis]

I take no pleasure in saying I told you so but Mitsubishi would not even be still there to make the announcement had the State Government not pumped millions into it. Question: what do you do if you are making a front wheel drive large sized car that is not selling well? Answer. Build a new one.
It was doomed and if I had been working at Mitsubishi the time of the last scare I would have been looking hard for alternative employment. Easier said than done I know and I feel for those people who are now having to go out en masse and find new employment. Pity the unfair dismissal laws have not been eliminated yet.

And as far as being a classic I think the 380 will make a nice cheap late model second hand car in a few years. Like the Magna before it.
