I wouldn't be too concerned just yet, wait and see what happens. We are a lot more sheltered in Australia to the rest of the world.

I would also suspect when the global automotive economy bounces back so will ralliart globally :)

Well now is the time to buy a Ralliart, if they stop making them the current ones will be worth a mint.

I'm a glass half full kinda guy, :D

They won't stop production of RAs.

It's just the performance parts side of it, but Mitsubishi will take up that side of it now...

Could see this coming, but didn't expect it now the global economy is picking back up

Hopefully the price of genuine Ralliart parts will come down in price now as they try to get rid of existing stock.

Hasnt RalliArt always existed separate to the parent company anyway? I remember something about it years ago about the two being separate and it was only recently that there was a merge of some sort.

Similar operation aspects of Braubus to Mercedes. Limited factory backing or something.
