Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (Japanese: ä¸è±èªåè»å·¥æ¥­æ ªå¼ä¼ç¤¾, Hepburn: Mitsubishi JidÅsha KÅgyÅ KK, IPA: [mitsuÍêbiÉiÌ¥]) is a multinational automotive manufacturer headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, Japan. In 2011, Mitsubishi Motors was the sixth biggest Japanese automaker and the sixteenth biggest worldwide by production. As of June 2016, Mitsubishi is majority-owned by Nissan, and thus a part of the Renault-Nissan Alliance.
Despite DaimlerChrysler's involvement, debts at Mitsubishi continued to accumulate. A torporous economy in Japan dragged down the company's domestic performance in 2003, while the same year the after effects of a disastrous credit scheme in the U.S. saw Mitsubishi Motors North America suffer a US$454 million loss.
