Mitsu, Dodge Sharing Dakota
Japan's fourth-biggest automobile company, Mitsubishi Motors, announced
Tuesday it will work with its DaimlerChrysler Corp. partner, Chrysler Group,
to jointly develop a mid-size pickup truck to be built in Michigan starting
in 2005. <snip> The company, of which DaimlerChrysler Corp. owns a
37-percent stake, will get a version of the Dodge Dakota mid-size pickup,
which will be built at DaimlerChrysler's Warren, Mich., plant. The Dodge
version of the truck is being redesigned and the new version will go on sale
in 2004. Mitsubishi's Cypress, California, design center will design the
Mitsubishi truck off the Dakota platform, using many of the elements found
on the Dodge product.
