Mitsubishi Motors could manufacture the next generation of
Galant Sedans from its plant in the US – ceasing production in
Japan.
It may use the factory, in Normal, Illinois, as a global
source for exports to Europe and Japan, according to
Automotive News Europe.
A Mitsubishi spokesman neither confirmed nor denied the
report to Automotive News Europe. If true, though, it would be
in line with a previously announced change in Mitsubishi's
product strategy.
Mitsubishi spokesman Shingo Kimura said: "We have not
decided on the specific plans. We are now conducting an
evaluation of our product
strategy."
