the brand is bankrupt. let's see what's wrong ...

Montaro Sport is a roll over death machine
the new Galant is a complete pile of garbage
the Eclipse has to endure another year with the same aging body design
the Lancer comes in 40 bajillion trims ... each of which is not worth it. (OZ, Rally Sport RS, base, blah blah blah)

the only car worth getting is the Evo, but even that is plagued with service bullitins.
