Personally, I can't see myself EVER buying another Mitsubishi. I
purchased one new in the late 80's, and really took it in the shorts.
The quality and service were terrible! I'm sure they are vastly
improved since then, but my perception is still that they are a
"second rate" import.

I'd rather buy a domestic than get a Mitsubishi, and for me, thats a
bold statement!
