J'ai dernièrement entendu dire de source douteuse que Mitsubishi allait bientôt établir un réseau de concessionaires au Canada. Je voudrais tout simplement que l'on m'informe, ou plutôt que l'on me confirme l'autenticité de cette rumeur. Y-a-t-il des dates de fixées et quels modèles seront mis en vente si la rumeur est fondée. Je pourrai p-ê m'offrir alors une magnifique Éclipse GT.
Merci à tous!!!

MITSUBISHI MOTORS TO ENTER CANADIAN MARKET WITH FULL RANGE OF VEHICLES IN 2003
Auto Maker's Success in United States Drives Growth Into Canada
Toronto, ON -Building on its extraordinary momentum and record US sales, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc. (MMSA), today announced its plans to enter the Canadian market through Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada. Through this subsidiary, Mitsubishi will now be able to offer Canadians a full line of stylish passenger cars and sport-utility vehicles that encourage Canadian consumers to "Wake Up and Drive™."
"Canadians purchase approximately 1.5 million new vehicles a year, making this one of the world's top 10 automotive markets and a natural choice for Mitsubishi Motors' global expansion," said Pierre Gagnon, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc. "We are excited to offer Canadians our full line of vehicles and look forward to growing across this great country."
Mitsubishi Motors anticipates it will begin selling cars in Canada early in 2003, with a goal of opening 51 dealerships in the first year, growing to 150 dealerships within five years. At that level, the dealer network would result in the creation of approximately 6,400 new jobs.
The company projects sales in Canada of 38,000 new vehicles annually by the end of 2007, giving Mitsubishi an estimated two-percent share of the Canadian new vehicle market. Canada is the only major global automotive market in which Mitsubishi Motors does not currently sell vehicles.
"For any major auto company like Mitsubishi Motors, the Canadian market is an important place to do business. Canada has a world-class retail dealer environment and a growing population of savvy consumers," added Gagnon.
Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada plans to sell and distribute the same models sold in the United States (eight models in 2003).
Randy Sears is being appointed senior vice president and general manager of Canadian operations. Sears will be responsible for establishing Mitsubishi Motors in the Canadian marketplace. Currently, Sears is MMSA's regional director for the North Central region. Sears' career includes 20 years with General Motors of Canada Ltd. and two years as general manager for Saturn, Saab, Isuzu of Victoria Ltd., located in Victoria, British Columbia.
"We will offer Canadian consumers value through competitive pricing, as well as quality, reliability and style. We're confident the Mitsubishi Motors brand will connect with Canadian consumers just as it has with consumers in the United States," said Sears.
Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc. was established in 1982 by Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, Tokyo, and markets a full line of vehicles, including coupes, convertibles, sedans and sport utility vehicles through a network of more than 550 dealers in the U.S. For more information about Mitsubishi Motors, including digital images, please visit the web site at www.mitsubishicars.com and www.mitsubishicars.com/canada.
