I can't really disagree with any of these.

 

[Further]

J.C Penney - indifferent
Nook - good
Martha Stewart Living Magazine - how will I know how to decorate my table next thanksgiving
LivingSocial - too bad, good idea that just didn't take hold
Volvo - I really hope not, I dig the company and long line of slow, expensive hurricane bunkers.
Olympus - no big deal, they couldn't handle the changing times
WNBA - they have one shot to save the team, play nude.
Leap Wireless - dont care
Mitsubishi Motors - surprises me, they have had a lot of success in Japan.
Road & Track - past it's niche.

Mitsubishi Motors is not a surprise as they have already said they will discontinue making the Mitsubishi Lancer which is there money maker when it comes to automobiles. I believe the Mitsubishi Lancer is faster then the Subaru Impreza WRX STI and the Lancer Evolution kills off the take off but the STI handles better.

Have you driven them all or are you basing your opinion off of a review website? Or even worse yet, a video game?

They are good car but I believe Volkswagen, BMW and Audi are selling better than Volvo and they are all German made.

Volvo originated in Sweden but:

In 1999, Volvo sold its car division Volvo Cars to Ford Motor Company for $6.45 billion. The Volvo trademark was shared between AB Volvo, where it is used on heavy vehicles, and the unit of Ford, where it was used on cars. Volvo stopped posting profits in 2005,[vague] and in 2008, Ford decided to sell its interest in Volvo Cars. In August 2010, Ford completed its sale of Volvo to the parent of Chinese motor manufacturer Geely Automobile for $1.8 billion.

Its true about the Mitsubishi Lancer they are mid 13 second cars in the 1/4 mile drag strip at PIR from my own personal experience. I saw a few of their times as the Evo hit a 13.2 at least a few times at the strip. I guess Fast in the Furious didn't help their overall sales as this car was over 20k brand new. As for additional experience I know of a friend who got a 2009 Lancer and his car insurance was insane for a 19 year old. High insurance rates is probably what killed the Lancer and its sales was it was probably rated as a "rally car" by insurance purposes.
