Mitsubishi Motors Corp (7211.T) admitted to manipulating test data to overstate the fuel economy of 625,000 cars sold in Japan, knocking its shares down more than 15 percent and wiping $1.2 billion off its market value on Wednesday.
Mitsubishi Motors said the fuel economy levels of models made for the local market were up to a tenth lower than stated in its test results. It said it manipulated those levels to gain a favorable reading for its fuel economy certification.
Mitsubishi is a shell of its former self here in the northeast US. I would have to drive at least 50 miles to find a dealership.
Have they just scaled back NA operations much like Suzuki automotive or is it otherwise?
Suzuki filed for bankruptcy IIRC. We can always go shopping for Isuzus.
