Mitsubishi Reboots Pajero/Montero With Boxy Design, Diesel Torque and Serious Off-Road Tech

Mitsubishi is reviving the Pajero/Montero as a fifth‑generation, body‑on‑frame SUV with rugged off‑road credentials: a 9.1-inch ground clearance, three rows, and a 113-inch wheelbase, powered by a turbocharged 2.4‑L diesel delivering about 204 hp and 354 lb‑ft of torque, paired to an eight‑speed automatic and all‑wheel drive with Super‑All Wheel Control and Active Yaw Control. It features a modern interior with dual 14.3-inch screens and a digital off‑road telemetry Multi Meter, relocated spare wheel underneath, and 255/55R20 tires. Production starts in Thailand (with the Triton) and launches in Japan and Australia by March 2027, followed by a wider 100‑market rollout; U.S. availability and pricing remain undecided.

Mitsubishi to buy U.S. shale gas assets in $7.5B deal to expand LNG footprint

Mitsubishi Corporation will acquire Aethon Energy Management LLC's U.S. shale gas assets in Texas and Louisiana for about $7.53 billion (roughly $5.2 billion in equity and $2.33 billion in debt) to bolster its natural gas and LNG earnings and accelerate an integrated U.S. value chain from upstream gas development to power generation and related businesses; the assets are expected to add about the same LNG capacity Mitsubishi already has (roughly 15 million metric tons per year), effectively doubling its LNG output.

"The Ultimate Ranking of Solar Eclipses: Best and Worst Revealed"

Mitsubishi's Eclipse has had its share of highs and lows, from the legendary second-generation models that were ideal for modifications and popular in the street scene, to the early '90s models that laid the foundation for front-wheel-drive fun. However, the fourth-gen car saw a pivot to the crossover market, and the recent attempt to revive the Eclipse name with a subcompact crossover has been met with skepticism.

"Ferrari's Iconic Badges: From Racetrack Hypercars to Street-Ready Beauties"

Automakers have been guilty of diluting their iconic badges for the sake of marketing value and profit. Ferrari's SF90 XX dilutes the essence of previous XX vehicles by being a road-legal car, while the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross fails to capture the excitement of its predecessor. The Chevrolet Blazer lacks the capabilities of the original truck-based SUV, and the BMW XM is a cash grab that falls short of being a true M car. Lastly, the Ferrari 599 GTO misuses the GTO name, which historically referred to road cars modified for on-track competition.

Investors on edge as US inflation data looms, causing Asian markets to fall.

Asia-Pacific markets fell as investors await U.S. inflation figures. Economists expect inflation to have increased 0.4% month-over-month in April, and 5% year-over-year. Nintendo's revenue fell 5.5% YoY due to a fall in sales for its flagship Nintendo Switch console. Mitsubishi Corp posted a record net profit of 1.18 trillion yen ($8.72 billion) for its financial year ended March. South Korea's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate came down to 2.6% in April, lower than the 2.8% recorded in April 2022.

Limited Options for Affordable New Cars in 2023

There are only three new cars available for less than $20,000 in the US market, and automakers are ignoring people who don't have a lot of money to spend on a car. The average price of a new car is down about $500, to $48,008, but there are still a tiny handful of affordable options out there, including the Mitsubishi Mirage, Kia Rio/Rio5, and Nissan Versa. However, none of these are selling particularly well, and it's hard to imagine a future for cheap subcompact cars like these in America.

Reviving Retro Car Phones with Modern Technology

A Bluetooth adapter has been developed by Jeff Lau that allows a 1990s car phone to connect to a modern smartphone. The adapter is a plug-in module that hooks up to the phone’s base station in the trunk and communicates directly with all the existing systems. The main components of the upgrade kit are a BM62 Bluetooth module that connects to a modern phone, a PIC18F27Q43 microcontroller to implement the car phone’s interface and menus, and several analog chips to process the audio. The project’s GitHub page documents all of the findings, making it easy for anyone with a similar system to implement their own upgrades.

"Deals or Dud? Evaluating Three Used Cars Under $18k"

This 2008 Mitsubishi Evolution X GSR is a softer-edged version of its predecessors, but still packs a punch with its high-output turbo four, close-ratio gearbox, and all-wheel drive. The car has 160,000 miles and is equipped with an AEM cold air intake, aftermarket shift knob, and upgraded stereo. The bodywork and interior are in good condition, and the car has a clean title and current smog certificate. The asking price is $17,500, and buyers must decide if it's worth the cost for this rally-ready sports car with a manual transmission.
