More Dodge-u-bishis In the Pipeline?

Expect the Mitsubishi/DaimlerChrysler partnership to result in more rebadged
Dodge vehicles going to Mitsubishi's American sales unit in the future. An
industry insider not associated with DaimlerChrysler told TheCarConnection
Tuesday that Mitsubishi's forthcoming Dodge-based pickup, based on the Sport
Truck Concept shown in Detroit, is the first of at least two vehicles
Mitsubishi can expect to get in the next few years from its partner in
Auburn Hills.

In all likelihood, Mitsubishi will get a version of the Dodge Durango, which
was redesigned for 2004. That vehicle and others developed by Chrysler could
help Mitsubishi pull out of its recent sales dive and resulting financial
doldrums thanks to low development and production start-up costs that can
come from profit sharing--especially when the platform carries a light
truck. Mitsubishi begins selling its first pickup since the '90s in late
2005. It will be built at Chrysler Group's Warren, Mich., plant.
DaimlerChrysler holds a 43-percent stake in the Japanese automaker.
