The massive earthquake followed by the even more devastating tsunami that struck the north-east coasts of Japan last week has brought together the country’s biggest automakers including Honda, Nissan and Toyota, which announced today that they will donate $3.75 million each for relief and recovery efforts in communities affected by the disaster.
In addition to the contribution in money, Nissan said it is also studying further relief efforts including complimentary provision of vehicles, such as trucks and forklifts, donation of medical supplies and daily commodities including blankets, antiseptics and masks, gift matching donation from Nissan employees, promotion, and support of blood donation activities.
Honda announced that it will donate a total of 1,000 power generators along with 5,000 gas canisters to the people left without electricity, while Toyota is considering the provision of goods and services as needed.
The three automakers have also announced the closure of some of their factories in Japan. From March 14 through March 20, Honda will suspend all production activities at its plants in Sayama, Saitama, Ogawa, Tochigi, Hamamatsu and Suzuka, plus all facilities in the Tochigi area, where damage was more serious. From March 15 through 20, Honda will also suspend production at the Kumamoto factory.
Nissan announced that operations at the Tochigi and Iwaki plants are suspended until March 18, while the Oppama, Kyushu, Shatai and Yokohama plants will be closed until March 16. As for Toyota, officials announced that the Hokkaido, Tohoku, Miyagi and Iwate plants are closed, with all employees having been evacuated to safe areas. The factories will remain closed at least until March 16.
Other automakers affected by the earthquake include Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru and Suzuki, which have either suspended or slowed down production because of supply shortages.

I always like the design of the Mitsubishi compact pickup truck. Mitsubishi Triton actually originated in Malaysia as a Mitsubishi Storm. Triton has always had a strong and robust design that attracts many truck buyers. TMR Triton is a concept vehicle which closely represents the reality of production.

Mitsubishi GalEA was created by Gábor Farkas. The independent designer has now sent us yet another Mitsubishi study, this time for a replacement to the Galant sedan.The concept is named GalEA and is said to draw its inspiration from the previous, sharper-looking eighth generation Galant of the late 1990s, while sharing similar design cues with the smaller Concept CS.

Follow the jump to read Gábor’s description of the project and to get a closer look at the sporty Mitsubishi saloon in our high-res gallery and CGI videos.In a 180 degree turn, the designer re-imagined the Galant as a more distinct and aggressive looking four-door coupe model with a long hood, sloping roof, pillarless doors and a stumpy rear end.

The current generation Mitsubishi Grandis is a good representation of the Japanese automaker as a whole. Plastic-y interiors, underdone ride and handling and anodyne looks combine to make the Grandis a poor substitute for the vastly superior and better selling Toyota Tarago [Australia]. With its South Korean competition having long ago stepped up to the plate, it’s disappointing to see Mitsubishi lagging so far behind.

David Cardoso, the artist who in the past has brought us design studies such as Renault Twist MPV and Audi Hydron, has envisioned a possible successor to the Grandis in the form of the Flexis. Appearing to be smaller than the Grandis - with seating more likely for five instead of seven - the Flexis takes it’s styling cues from the Opel Meriva, Peugeot 3008 and 2012 Ford Focus. Overall it’s a good expansion on Mitsubishi’s current design language, and a far sight better than when Mitsubishi tried applying its new corporate face to the aging Colt.

 When you come to think of it, there are not a lot of Mitsubishi used cars in Canada. When researching the brand I didn’t realize that the Mitsubishi Motor Corporation only officially came to Canada in 2003. Mitsubishi vehicles were sold through Chrysler dealerships in North America before Mitsubishi announced it was officially in Canada and the States. Mitsubishi has many different models but we are going to focus on the Galant, a midsize sedan. In 2004 Mitsubishi decided to redesign the Galant, there were two different Galant’s to choose from. You could either have a 2.4-litre, four-cylinder with 160 horsepower or a 3.8-litre, V6, 230 horsepower engine. Both engines only had four-speed automatic.

Mitsubishi Galant used cars:

The Galant in 2007 was redesigned and had changes to both exterior and interior of the vehicle. They also replaced there sporty version of the GTS with the Ralliart model. Mitsubishi boosted the V6 engine to 258 horsepower. The V6 model also replaced the four-speed transmission to a five-speed. The 2007 Galant also added side airbags as a standard feature to all models.

If you’re interested in a newer version of the Mitsubishi Galant like the 2009 version, then you will be happy to know the automaker made some changes to the style of the vehicle. These changes were only done on the exterior and interior of the vehicle, there were no changes done to either engine.

From what I could gather about the fuel economy statistics was that the Mitsubishi Galant had higher fuel ratings than other competitors in its segment. In 2009 the four-cylinder had a 10.2/7.2-litre/100km for both city and highway driving. The V6 engine had a 12.6/8.0-litre/100km for both city and highway driving and the sporty version had a 12.9/8.2 for both city and highway.


Let’s go over some pros and cons of the Mitsubishi Galant:

1- There are problems with the condenser.

2- It has been reported that there are problems with the automatic climate control system.

3- Other things I found reported on the web about the Galant were oxygen sensor issues.

4- Problems with squeaky brakes.

5- It was giving a good rating by The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for a test on frontal offset crashes

6- It also received four stars from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for driver and passenger protection in frontal crash tests in 2007.

I hope this information helps when looking at the Mitsubishi Galant as your next used vehicle.

Most gress breakthrough he did on the door Mitsubishi Lancer 2000 is

Frugal if you do not need to open the door wide can, too. Like when in the parking lot. saving only about 40 cm before the door is upgraded to the top.

Mitsubishi will provide new surprises in the arena of International Indonesia Motor Show (IIMS) in 2010, the end of this July. PT Krama Yudha Three Berlian Motors (KTB), Mitsubishi car manufacturers in Indonesia, will display a multipurpose vehicle (MPV) Delica D5 melibas tough and can off-road terrain.

The big question, whether the car will just hang out at IIMS Or there is the rest of Indonesia? For that, Kompas.com confirmed to Rizwan Amamsjah, Marketing Director of PT KTB. "Usually that comes in IIMS is no plan entry. But for certainty when, and what there is still no clear decision. Let's see animo," Rizwan said that when contacted was heading Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

Currently, Delica D5 trafficked into Indonesia in full (CBU) from Japan. The unit had arrived and were prepared paperwork. Originated from Delica car delivery said that in their home countries known as the cars of people and goods delivery.

In Japan, Delica 2.400cc equipped gasoline engine capacity, four-cylinder DOHC 16 valves. There are two options-wheel system, namely the motion on two wheels (2WD) and four-wheel motion (AWD). However, for Indonesia presented a 4WD model. On price, type 29 800 U.S. dollars price 2WD (USD 272.6 million) and 4WD 31 800 U.S. dollars (USD 290.9 million) per unit.

"If it will be marketed, this car will compete with the (Toyota), Alphard, with the advantages other than okay on the highway, but also can create off road. Surely stray into the premium segment," adds Rizwan.

Mitsubishi Delica D5 was also chosen as the main car Pajero car supporters in the arena of the Paris Dakar Rally. Toughness and endurance of seven-passenger MPV is already evidenced by the wild track car racing track in the world's toughest.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution mention future generations will use hybrid technology. Initially Mitsubishi engineers developed a gasoline-electric hybrid like most Japanese manufacturers.

Yet recent reports indicate, Mitsubishi had to leave that option and chose to develop diesel-electric hybrid. The aim is to ensure that future emissions Lancer Evo can meet emissions regulations.

Diesel-powered characters chosen because it possessed in the run-down as well as the level of efficiency that is better than gasoline engines. Lancer Evo diesel hybrid is expected to accelerate from 0 - 60mph less than five seconds while under the 200g/km CO2 emissions are expected.

Mitsubishi-wheel drive system retains all-wheel drive S-AWC. But Mitsubishi has a great challenge for the Lancer Evo two main markets, namely Japan and the United States is not like the diesel market, unlike Europe. It may take several years to change that character.

Mitsubishi seems to not want half measures when it presents a type family car Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). Toughness, the capacity of many, luxury, and fuel economy, packaged in a package labeled PajeroSport.

That is the impression gained when detikOto SUV variants that have tested the platform of this Triton Strada. Exceed Pajero Sport 4x2 A / T was free to traverse the route from Jakarta to Carita, Cilegon, Jakarta.

Look outside, other than a typical car berbodi bongsor adventurers, but the gaharnya sweetened by luxury design nuances, such as the chrome-accented front grille vertical, also with equivalent halogen lamp protector, as well as three-diamond logo at its center.

Entry into the cabin, the Pajero Sport presents a fairly broad view of the future, despite the high dimension of this car. Also directly created by the luxury feel of leather upholstery and dashboard of the elegant setting.

Clusternya meter is easy to read, as well as monitor can center that facilitates the driver's instrument panel, where it displayed a variety of information such as average fuel consumption, remaining fuel mileage, air temperature, and various

other vehicle information.

And driving comfort, you will be very awake with a pounding audio from six speakers who yahud. Especially with the control switches on the steering wheel, making the operation easier. But unfortunately the audio did not support USB connection.

Ignited engines, diesel engines roar sounds typical. But it all vanished when it was in the cabin. So also with the vibrations that are usually found on diesel engined cars capable of well-muted.

Across the highway from Jakarta to Merak, Pajero Sport performance exhibited in the affairs of engine power. Although at low rpm, the car ran a bit heavy to be taken, but everything changed after the number passed 2000 RPM.

2500 cc engine DOHC Common Rail Diesel-D IN Intercooler Turbocharger that is embedded behind the hood of the Pajero Sport can really take car was running with a stable, so that the speedometer needle can reach 160 km

per hour.

Also equally interesting is the equivalent of that capitalize suspension independent double-wishbone suspension, with coil spring and stabilizer at the front, and three link coil spring with stabilizer at the rear.

With legs like that, the Pajero Sport suspension still feels soft, but did not make the car dizziness. Whether on the highway, or when crossing Highway Anyer full of holes.

Not to mention his LSD Hybrid feature, which can provide a response that makes the difference rotation and torque between left and right wheels on the axle. This feature ensures power stays on each wheel even though one wheel on slippery surfaces though.

An ergonomic seating position, the practical control thanks to the automatic transmission, and supporting soft suspension, making hundreds of kilometers of the route as far as comfortable to traverse with the Pajero Sport.

We loved the softness of the suspension is not to make the car staggered, but does not like the low round of heavy acceleration.

However, with a price tag of USD 370 million On The Road, you will not be disappointed family adventure!
