I used to work with a guy who told me that his wife labored for Colt Cars in Cirencester England. I remember at the time saying to him "Who the actual hell are they! " Which I suppose was a bit impolite but I believed I knew most vehicle manufacturers and had never got word of them. Luckily he ignored my rudeness and explained which Colt Cars were a jv with Mitsubishi Motors, who I had got word of, and were established largely for your purposes of importing and distributing Mitsubishi vehicles in britain.

I had forgotten that Britain utilized to have strict import quotas on foreign vehicles inside a vain attempt to protect British manufacturers from the threat to their market from foreign imports. It wasn't until the actual British public realised that British cars were actually useless that they began buying foreign cars by the thousand which spelled the end of the road in the most common of UK manufacturers, sad but true.

There was a tiny backlash from people of a certain generation against buying foreign cars particularly Japanese ones but when their own Morris Maxi's and Marinas finally rusted into oblivion these people begrudgingly grasped the nettle and today wouldn't be seen driving anything other than a Micra or Yaris or even indeed a Mitsubishi Colt.

Mitsubishi have had mixed fortunes in the past with some successful models not to mention you can't really mention Mitsubishi without talking about their successes with the Ralliart division as well as the whole Evolution phenomenon. Aside from this though the history of Mitsubishi is quite complex and they experienced business partnerships with companies you'd probably not have expected, notably Volvo and Daimler Chrysler to name but two.

Mitsubishi Corporation is a massive concern in Japan which Mitsubishi Motors are a subsidiary of with a history that dates back in terms of 1917. The logo of a few red diamonds, which is shared with over forty others within the group, predates Mitsubishi Motors itself by nearly a century. It was chosen by Yataro Iwasaki who was simply the founder of Mitsubishi. Apparently it represented the emblem with the Tosa Clan who first employed him and because his or her own family crest was about three diamonds stacked one in addition to the other. The name Mitsubishi is definitely an amalgamation of Mitsu ("three") and also Hishi (literally this means "water chestnut", which is often used in Japanese to denote any diamond or rhombus).

Mitsubishi are currently the seventh largest car company in Japan and seventeenth on the planet which puts them as fairly large however, not huge by any standards. Mitsubishi's main problem has become a lack of models to select from but in the last several years they have worked hard to address this and now have a very fairly large range covering most sectors with the market.
