I think that Mini will still be around in 2015...how strong? I can't say.

Saab has the loyal following...if they stick with the new 9-3 design Saab will be fine.

Mitsu. is doing well now because they practically give their cars away. Any person with two consecutive pay stubs can go get a Mitsubishi car or truck with no money down, now payments for a year while interest accrues and when they start paying on it a year later the amount they owe is 1.5 times the value of the car...they will be stuck with that car forever the resale will never match the value of the car so there is no trade in (most dealers won't take a Mitsu in trade unless the owner has the title) Chances are the car will fall apart before the owner is done paying for it. Not to mention the people that Mitsu. finances are not the highest credit worthy individuals out there. With this business model I cannot see Mitsu. surviving.
