Short supply hampers Mitsubishi sales
Annual UK sales by Mitsubishi have fallen from 35,500 units last year to an estimated 32,000 for 2007.
According to the company’s managing director Jim Tyrell, the reason is easy to spot – the run-out of the hugely popular MkI L200 pick-up – but short supply on the critically acclaimed all-new Outlander hasn’t helped.
Tyrell said: "Outlander has been sold out all year, and we only got half of what we wanted, but the decline is all due to the L200. And it’s sticky hard work selling cars at the moment because of the consumer confidence issue."
