Does anyone have the sales data for the Eclipse, RSX, and Celica? I just find it really hard to believe that the Eclipse is selling more than the RSX and Celica.

But I see Saab dying. You can't really survive with a 2-car lineup, and I doubt adding another car will happen despite all the rumours. The new 9-3 will lose loyalists and thats all a brand really has. There are other products in the same price range that are as good as the 9-3 so I can't see them staying around much longer.

I think Mercury will go as well, the way Ford is losing money I doubt it can afford to spend additional cash to differentiate Mercury's product line and promote it.

Suzuki and Isuzu will go, at least in the car business. I don't understand how Suzuki makes such good bikes, but such terrible cars. And Isuzu, which is bleeding to death literally will probably exit the commerical "SUV" business.

Gotta disagree with Mitsubishi. Its growing strong.
