The plant, with nearly 3,400 employees, produces the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eclipse Spyder, Galant, Endeavor, Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus.

:yay:

Less of these crappy cars on the road:yay:

Too bad someone had to get hurt to do it though

That's terrible. But automotive wise all it produces are horrible cars anyway, so good riddance. As long as the EVO is still OK.

true, i am not a fan of Mitsubishis either, now there might be a shortage of those cars at nationwide dealers depending how long this plant remains closed.

that means no test drive kits/free gas cards for a while.
