Also, it opened up a new North American Manufacturing Division in 2002. In 1995, Mitsubishi Motors changed its name to the current on from DSM as it was previously known on the American market. Later, in 1992, it reduced the equity to just 3% and even sold its interest in Diamond-Star Motors, leaving Mitsubishi as the sole owner. Mitsubishi industries remained the largest stockholder with 25% of the company, while Chrysler upped its share to 20 %. In 1988 the company changed its status from being privately owned to public. The models that came out of this plant include the Mitsubishi Eagle, the Eagle Talon and the Plymouth Laser. In order to bypass the strict import regulations and to ease the tensions between the two companies, Mitsubishi and Chrysler founded a new vehicle manufacturing company in Normal, Illinois under the name Diamond-Star Motors which started production in 1987. By the end of the 80s, Mitsubishi had achieved 1,5 million units produced worldwide. The car quota was established at 30,000 vehicles but the Japanese were keen to increase that number and they began a campaign of active advertising. Two years later, Mitsubishi would enter the American market under its own name with the Tredia sedan, the Cordia and the Starion coupe. But if for Mitsubishi things were looking up, the same could not be said about its American partner which was forced to sell the Australian manufacturing division in 1980.

The next step for the company was to ally itself with a foreign company, Chrysler in this case, which bought 15% of the Mitsubishi, which afforded the Japanese manufacturer the license to sell rebadged Galants as Dodge Colts in the States and as Chrysler Scorpions in Australia. With sales rising, the remnants of the Mitsubishi conglomerate were united once again in 1970. Enter the Mitsubishi 500, a sedan for the masses, and later the Minica small car and the Colt 1000 in 1963. Then came the split of the former conglomerate, because the conquering Allies did not see with favorable eyes Japan's industrial development.Ī decade later, things in Japan were looking up and personal transportation became an issue again as more and more families afforded cars. Only after the war did the company really got into car production with a small three-vehicle vehicle, the Mizushima and a scooter with a funny name, the Silver Pigeon. Sadly, it was mainly for military use as the war approached. Concentrated on building aircraft, ships, and railroad cars, the company found time to make a prototype sedan in 1937 which it called the PX33. True production begins after the merger of Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and Mitsubishi Aircraft Co. Not very successful, production was discontinued after just 22 models were built. The company's history starts sometime in 1917, when the first Mitsubishi model, a seven-seater sedan based on the Fiat Tipo 3, rolls off the assembly line.
