Mitsubishi

Once a force to be reckoned with thanks to its famed sports cars, Mitsubishi's star has fallen from the automotive firmament in recent years. Its current lineup consists of lackluster crossovers and miserable economy cars, but there are signs of life in the coupe-like Eclipse Cross SUV. The Mitsubishi Mirage is simple and honest transportation but offers few frills, while Outlander and the Outlander Sport SUVs do much of the same on a larger scale. Affordable pricing, a 10-year warranty, and a reputation for reliability are Mitsubishi's few remaining calling cards. We've heard rumblings of a revived Lancer Evo sport sedan, but we'll believe it when we see it.
