say what you want, but mitsubishi is the only brand that has built imports in illinois, AND given factory tours every year until they shuttered the plant and sold it off to Rivian.
mitsu owners days were great.
on the way back from an owners day event one year, i pulled up to a random stoplight, top down, just enjoying the day, and some cranky old guy in a brand new ford taurus pulls up next to me at the light, and immediately starts saying "you and your da mn import are ruining america."
i laughed, and said "this particular car was not only built in america, but was built in illinois, a 1.5 hour drive from where this stop light is, by UAW workers, with american steel."
he gets grumpier.
then i pushed it, and said "in fact, today happens to be mitsubishi owners day, where there's an open invitation for anyone with a mitsubishi to go back to the plant where their car was built for a car show with prizes, food, and factory tours. they do it every year. when was the last time ford ever had an owners day to thank you for buying a taurus?"
all he said was "f uck you."
