DSM is "Daimler (soemthing*) Mitsubishi". It is when Daimler Chrysler and mitsubishi came together to run a plant that would put out the identical chassis to the:
Mitsubishi Eclipse
Eagle Talon
and one other car that keeps slipping my mind I think it was the Lazer... something, a Dodge? I don't know.


*not really "somehting" but there is a word that starts with an S the belongs there

The sticker from my MS3 says it's 95% Japanese content, and the engine parts originated in Japan, so I don't see them being built in a Ford Plant. I guess they were designed by Ford -- SSTLAURE knows about all of that.
On my car, so far I've spotted "FoMoCo" on the dipstick and the front brake calipers, but these parts may be outsourced, and haveit stamped on so the actual manufacturers can't use tooling that Ford paid for to make aftermarket parts.
