The Suzuki thing was entirely different.
Suzuki the parent company and American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) are much like Mitsubishi and Mitsubishi Motors North America (MMNA). The difference is that ASMC was intending to stay in the US. Suzuki the parent company was not. Furthermore, the reason they were not selling well was because of supply. Dealers in the US were getting left over inventory from other markets. This made it really hard to get specific color and package combinations that people wanted. With Mitsubushi if someone wants a color/package combination and doesn't mind waiting, I can get them whatever they want. This was not the case with Suzuki. ASMC needed at US plant to keep up with demands. Suzuki opted not to invest in one. Mitsubishi however just dumped 100 million in to renewing the Normal, IL plant.
Not at all the same story.
