Mitsubishi’s sales may have taken a big hit in Japan due to the recent revelation the Japanese carmaker cheated on fuel economy tests there, but the brand’s sales in the United States are still holding strong. This is mostly thanks to the brand’s crossover sales, which have continually increased over last year’s sales.
