July 24, 2015—Mitsubishi Motors is going to stop production of cars in the U.S., according to multiple reports.

Mitsubishi plans on closing its plant in Normal, Ill., the only plant it has in the U.S., according to Japanese media outlet Nikkei.

In an e-mail to USA Today, Mayor Chris Koos of Normal said that he was unaware of the reports.  "We've not heard one way or another. The local plant managers also have had no word," he wrote.
