    I have noticed over the last week or so, approx 15 truck loads full with different mitsubishi vehicles heading for the dock in cork, since I purchased a new pajero this year are they a casualty of the very noticable slow down in the car market, what are they at.

    Probably sending stock back to the UK.

    Land Rover done it with almost 75% of their stock earlier in the year afaik. Alot of other manufacturers did it on a much smaller basis too.

    If you sit at the docks long enough these days, you could be forgiven for thinking that Ireland was a major exporter of new vehicles!

    Mitsubishi were struggling to sell here even back in the good times. Limited range of cars, small number of dealerships and poor marketing. Cars like the Lancer and Colt were out gunned by almost everything else on the market.

    Since the changes in VRT and motor tax, the lack of competitive diesel or clean petrol engines has left them even further behind. VRT changes also sounded the death nail for cars the Evo.
