Five Fun, Fast Facts about Mitsubishi

Happy Friday! To kick off the last work day this week, we're presenting a few fun, fast facts about Mitsubishi Motors (say that five times fast)!

When was Mitsubishi founded?
April 22, 1970. However, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co. introduced the Mitsubishi Model A in 1917, which was Japan's first series-production automobile.

What does the logo mean?
The Mitsubishi logo's three red diamonds came way before Mitsubishi Motors (almost 100 years!); it was chosen by Iwasaki Yataro, the founder of Mitsubishi because it was suggestive of his first employer's family crest.

What does Mitsubishi mean?
Mitsu = three
Hishi = water chestnut (often used in Japanese to stand for a diamond)

Which actor is Mitsubishi affiliated with?
Jackie Chan has a 30-year association with the brand, and has driven Mitsubishi vehicles in movies almost entirely throughout his career.

Which countries manufacture Mitsubishi vehicles?
Japan, Phillipines, Thailand, Brazil and the United States. Mitsubishi vehicles are manufactured, assembled or sold in over 160 countries around the world!

We hope you enjoyed the Mitsubishi history lesson. If you'd like to join Jackie Chan, check out our new Mitsubishi vehicles here ;)
