In general, once you’ve bought something new, its value tends to sink the moment you take it out of the box. For a new car, the value plummets as soon as you drive it off the dealership lot. It’s called depreciation, and with cars it is especially brutal. That shiny new car you just bought for $30,000 might be worth less than $25,000 after just a week of ownership. With very few exceptions (like vintage muscle cars), most cars suffer...

Update One: Its hatchback versatility shines. Our long-term Sportback Ralliart is piling on the miles, and the warm weather has brought an increased frequency of vacations and trips—the car has picked up 10,000 miles in just two months. Venturing around the Midwest and journeying as far as Florida, Rhode Island, and Appalachia, the hatchback has long since made its transition from snow machine to highway cruiser.

Around the world Mitsubishi has announced initial prices for fleet purchasers of their subcompact i-MiEV electric car that range from about $53,000 in Japan to as high as $59,000 in Germany. Given the fact that Nissan will start selling the LEAF EV this fall for $32,780 in the US, it’s clear that Mitsubishi will have to find a way to bring their prices down before the smaller i-MiEV goes on sale to the mass market at the end of 2011. Apparently...

The Outlander becomes a family affair by appealing to smaller families. In its ongoing struggle for relevance—and maybe a sale or two—Mitsubishi is adopting a family approach to its models. Each nameplate will be offered in more than one variant, the Lancer line providing an excellent example of this strategy: It extends from mild—the basic Lancer DE sedan, starting at $15,535—to wild—the 291-hp Lancer Evolution X, an all-wheel-drive...

One of the biggest perceived drawbacks of electric cars is the limited range. We are, after all, rather spoiled these days by fuel efficient cars and hybrids that can go 400 miles or more on a single tank of gas. But most people don’t need to go more than a hundred miles a day, especially city dwellers. Hell, most people don’t drive more than 40 miles a day. In fact, a recent study in the UK proves just that. Project CABLED is...

Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun says that reduce all of that, Toyota , Nissan and Mitsubishi will begin working...
