Cypress, Calif. -- "Mitsubishi Motors is very disappointed by, and disagrees with the verdict returned by the jury in this case. The Montero Sport is a well designed vehicle that has been driven safely, in this country, for hundreds of millions of miles.
This particular accident involved alcohol, sleep deprivation, college kids, and speeding at two o'clock in the morning. The driver fell asleep at the wheel, then came to, making a series of extreme steering maneuvers to avoid rear-ending a tractor trailer. This caused his vehicle to roll over whereupon it was struck directly on the roof by another tractor trailer, at high speed. Despite all this, the Montero Sport protected the plaintiff very well and he made a good recovery from his injuries.

Again, Mitsubishi is very disappointed by this verdict and will both carefully review and pursue its appellate options."
