Mitsubishi Motors to Suspend Participation in the FIA World Rally Championship Series
Tokyo, December 14, 2005 — Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has announced that it has decided to suspend participation in the FIA World Rally Championship series from 2006.
With the Mitsubishi Motors Revitalization Plan as a basis, MMC has made a solid start toward revitalizing its business operations. However, to strengthen and build upon this base, MMC realizes that it must focus management resources on the continued promotion of the revitalization plan.
Mitsubishi Motors hopes to return to the WRC Championship series from 2008, after the completion of the revitalization plan, which covers fiscal 2005 to 2007.
This decision however does not extend to MMC's efforts in the Dakar Rally (commonly known as Paris-Dakar). Mitsubishi Motors will continue to compete in this event.
— Starting with an overall championship in the Safari Rally in 1974, the Mitsubishi WRC Team has accomplished a spectacular 34 wins in the WRC series. The team won the drivers' title 4 consecutive years from 1996 to 1999, and won the prestigious manufacturers' title in 1998.

Mitsubishi Motors to Add Harunari to North American Leadership
Cypress, Calif. (December 12, 2005) — Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) President Osamu Masuko today announced that Hiroshi Harunari will be appointed President and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA), effective January 1, 2006, joining Rich Gilligan, who will continue as co-President and co-CEO, to lead the company.
Mr. Harunari has been Managing Director of Overseas Operations for MMC since April 2005. Gilligan has led MMNA since January 2005 when he was promoted from Chief Operating Officer of the company's North American manufacturing division.
Mitsubishi Motors has assembled a North American management team of industry professionals that have developed and executed a product-led recovery strategy, including the successful launches of new models such as the Eclipse coupe, with four additional product launches over the next 20 months. "North America's extremely competitive and ever-changing automotive market environment requires MMC's direct support and management presence on the ground in North America," Masuko said.
"Success in North America — with all of its complexity and challenges — is essential to MMC's global success," Masuko said. "Mr. Gilligan and his team have put us on the road to regaining success here. By adding Mr. Harunari to our North American team, we are further focusing alignment between MMC and MMNA's strategic approaches, to ensure timely communication between MMC and MMNA, concerning not only sales and marketing, but also R&D and production operations, so that we can quickly and effectively meet the requirements of this dynamic marketplace."
"We are pleased that MMC is sending this clear message of their continued commitment to support MMNA's growth," Gilligan said. "I have worked closely with Mr. Harunari over the past several months and look forward to the opportunity to strengthen our partnership. His passion and vast international experience will be a tremendous addition to our efforts in North America."
