Now you can find that same babge on the inside on tailights,headlights,there engines,interior pieces on Mitsu,Dodge,and Chrysler cars,ooh yea and on the plastic bags that your parts come in from the dealer.Do some research before you bring your so-called knowledge on IA.I guess that Neons arent DSM cars either huh?LMAO!! Go read up a little!!
    You have made yourself look like an ass. Anybody true to DSM knows that the OG DSMs are the T/E/L.


    Yeah my "so called" car isnt affliated with Diamond Star Motor deal to import cars to get trade going again because Mitsu was exporting more than they were importing so as to avoid a trade embargo they began licensing out the cars to Chrylser/Plymouth/Dodge.

    WELL....my car is the ANTI DSM because it is strictly an import. None were made in America, thus not stimulating growth for the American economy.

    3000 were brought over in total from 1991 and 1992 and was completely seperate from any DSM contracts.


    Here you go:

    From Vfaq.com

    A joint effort by Mitsubishi (three diamonds) and the Chrysler Corporation (penta-star) to build some of the most incredible automobiles in the world. The vehicles were produced with the names Eagle Talon, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and Plymouth Laser. DSM cars are assembled in Normal, Illinois. The '94-and-up Mitsubishi Galant is also assembled at the DSM plant in IL; previous Galant's were assembled in Japan. The Eclipse and Galant (since '89) share the same platform.

    Are Sebrings and Avengers DSMs?

    Aside from the fact that Sebring and Avenger cars are built in the same MMMA plant as the 2G cars, there is nothing to connect them to the DSM name. They do not share heritage, appearance, upgrade paths or many parts with DSMs. For this reason, these two models are not considered DSMs, and discussion regarding these cars is not part of the Talon Digest or most UBB systems concentrating on DSMs.




    SO long story short if you look on the back of a conquest tsi is doesnt say made by dodge or chrysler it says imported FOR chrysler.

    The American car industry was junk so they used Jap cars to build themselves back up.

    And no a Neon is not a fucking DSM and I think you should read up a little. Is a durango a DSM? I mean its a Dodge and an Avenger is a Dodge and apparently thats a DSM. What about a caravan? My neighbor has a DSM in that case. I should tell him to com to the meets.

    Thanks for playing but please try again.
