I think the issue is how the cars were marketed. These are not your "normal" commuter cars by any stretch of the imagination. You don't conduct ad campaigns that suggest that this car is a high performance car and then go out of your way to not warranty what goes wrong. Read their ads. Also, read the comments by an attorney that posted on that forum.
So it's ok for Mitsu to assume that every failure is "race" related??? I say bullshit. If GM did this they would go out of business very quickly.
Obviously they didn't do their homework when it came time to designing appropriate parts to handle the stress that they implied the car was designed for. Now it's breaking and they don't want to honor their commitment. When you design a high performance car you do it with some level of abuse in mind.
No wonder they're going out of business.
