Once word gets out to the general public that most of the new DCX cars will be rebadged mitsu’s you can kiss the Chrysler goodbye. They will be going the way of Oldsmobile. Perhaps some schrapnel renamed.. Mitsu Viper, Diamler Ram, Mercedes Prowler, Benz Cruiser. Turn the lights out when you leave DCX.
