Mitsubishi celebrates best-ever sales results in 2009

Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) sent the sales records tumbling in 2009, with a host of “best ever” results both on a calendar year basis, as well as on a year-on-year basis.


Mr Robert McEniry, president and CEO of Mitsubishi, said the strong sales results were directly attributable to “product, perseverance and performance” and praised the contribution of the company’s dealers and staff.

“We have a great product line-up, we are determined to succeed, and our employees and dealer network continue to perform at astonishing levels to ensure Mitsubishi’s success,” Mr McEniry said.

Calendar year sales for the company totalled 56,998 units, a decrease of 6.1 per cent over total sales for 2008, but well ahead of the market decline of 7.4 per cent.  Imported vehicle sales for the company showed an even better result, with a difference of just 0.8 per cent from the previous year.
