Confirming a previous report that Mitsubishi was extending its partnership with Nissan (and Renault) in order to create more common models gets additional confirmation from Australia, via Motoring.
It quotes the words of the company’s Head of Product Projects and Strategy, Ryugo Nakao, who says the immediate priority is not the C-Segment Lancer replacement, but rather a larger D-segment sedan to go up against the Mazda6, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord and VW Passat.
Currently, the talks stand far away from having reached a conclusion, but the larger sedan is deemed as being considerably more important for the US market, while the smaller car would have greater relevance in Australia and other markets that share its buyers preferences.
