Japanese automaker Mitsubishi said today it would stop making vehicles in the United States and is looking to sell its underused Illinois plant.
"Following a review of Mitsubishi Motor Corporation's global supply chain, we have been informed it is necessary to end production and seek a strategic buyer for the Normal plant," Mitsubishi Motors North America said in a statement. Mitsubishi said it will continue to sell its cars, including current and planned models, at US dealerships. "The North American market remains a priority for Mitsubishi Motors," it said.
