1995 Mitsubishi 3000gt Spyder Sl Retractable Hardtop Convertible on 2040-cars
North Wales, Pennsylvania, United States
This 3000gt Spyder is #519 of only 1,034 ever sold and #47 of only 95 Glacier White Pearl, manufactured in 1995 according to the 3000gt Spyder Registry. The entire car looks and runs like it did in 1995 just off the showroom floor.
I checked out this one-owner 3000gt Spyder this past Spring at an Infinity dealer in Virginia. The car was in mint condition but they couldn’t sell it because retractable hardtop didn’t work. I have owned 5 Spyder’s over the years, enjoy working on them, and was looking for a short term project. I purchased the car knowing I could fix the top because I have the TopLink computer program to diagnose the problem. I replaced some top parts, recalibrated and now it is working flawlessly (see video below).

The previous owner purchased the car for $57,449. According to the dealer, the 70 year old owner said it was garage kept and only driven in good weather. I don’t think it ever saw rain until is sat on the lot at the Infinity dealer. Brand new Michelin 245/45 ZR17 Pilot Sport Zero Pressure tires, Mitsubishi OEM chrome rims which, I assume, are also brand new because they still have the silver dot on them from the factory. It currently has a state of the art Alpine MP3, CD, USB, Receiver with hands-free Bluetooth calling. The original stock radio is included with the purchase. No wear on leather seats, absolutely pristine inside and out. This car is in better shape than my prize Spyder VR4 with only 45,000 miles on it. Below are more photos and a video showing the car starting (no smoke) and engine running (no valve tap).

Mitsubishi ASX is French for Outlander Sport
Fri, 28 Sep 2012Mitsubishi has revealed the Euro-version of the same Outlander Sport model that debuted with updates earlier this year at the New York Auto Show. No, the French do not call it the Royale Sport (with cheese), but rather the ASX.
The crossover has received a range of aesthetic and engineering tweaks, including revised interior fabrics. Designers have also abandoned the old rotary knob switch for the vehicle's all-wheel-control system in favor of a pushbutton interface, though the largest change to the recipe comes in the form of a reworked multi-link rear suspension. Powertrain options remain unchanged, however, with a total of three engine mills on deck, including a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with 115 horsepower mated to a five-speed manual transmission in two-wheel drive configuration.
Those hunting up a little more traction can step up to a 1.8-liter diesel with 147 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque paired with a six-speed manual and the buyer's choice of either a two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive system. A low-CO2 1.8 diesel is also available with 114 horsepower. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Mitsubishi Concept GR-HEV brings diesel hybrid efficiency to the pickup game
Tue, 05 Mar 2013Mitsubishi unveiled its Concept GR-HEV at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Branded a "Sport Utility Hybrid Truck," the concept mates a 2.5-liter clean diesel engine with a front-mounted electric motor for a more efficient one-ton pickup. Complete with an automatic transmission mated to a full-time four-wheel-drive system, the GR-HEV is designed to make hybrid technology attractive to buyers beyond the traditional compact car market. Mitsubishi says the vehicle's drivetrain is good for CO2 emissions of 149 grams per kilometer. For comparison's sake, the global 2012 Ford Ranger emits 264 g/km when equipped with the 3.2-liter turbo-diesel engine and a six-speed manual transmission.
Designed to be both more simple and less expensive than electric, plug-in hybrid or standard hybrid work vehicles, the GR-HEV would theoretically yield both the instant torque of a hybrid and the range of a traditional diesel.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
