A good piece of news has finally emerged from Mitsubishi Australia after the demise of the locally-produced 380 sedan with reports of a 31 per cent increase in sales of its imported product line-up during the month of April.
Thanks to all-time record April sales of light commercial and sports utility vehicles including the Outlander, Pajero, Triton and Express models, a year-to-date increase of 19.6 per cent across the imported range has been recorded.

A company record total sales of these models of 3,141 vehicles is up 965 units or 44.3 per cent on the same month last year.
Robert McEniry, President and CEO of MMAL said: “Our practical light commercial and four-wheel drive vehicles, particularly the Triton utility and Outlander compact SUV, continue to enjoy burgeoning sales. With the launch of the new 2.5-litre diesel two-wheel drive Triton, we expect to see this expansion continue."
Mitsubishi’s compact all-wheel drive Outlander registered its best-ever April result with 824 sales while the all-new Lancer small-car sedan also sold strongly with a total of 1,317 vehicle sales recorded.
Overall, the company has recorded total sales of 5,007 vehicles during April - a 15.8 per cent increase over April 2007 and a 7.7 per cent increase on a year-to-date basis - with sales growth tipped to continue in the next few months as some hot new models, including the Lancer Evolution, Lancer RalliArt and Lancer Sportback hits Australian showrooms.
