I don't think it's actually them(though at this time I don't think it's ANYONE), but it's interesting to note they're a bigger possibility than most realize. In Japan they actually outsell Nissan, Mazda, Subaru AND Mitsubishi - as does Daihatsu(though anyone who knows anything about Japan isn't THAT surprised by this).
Bigger possibility? Really? Because they sell dirt bikes and scca and NASA motors in the us? Bigger possibility than Yamaha? The club racing business would make them a possibility to field a DPI? Looking forward to the ROI math on this one. Are they gonna bring back and badge the car a samurai? C'mon.
