100 Year Celebration

Piako Mitsubishi

1917 WE STARTED OUR FIRST CAR ENGINE
The Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Company LTD. had operated prior to 1917. But it was in that year its very first car was launched; the Mitsubishi Model-A. Designed as a luxury vehicle for officials of the Government, the Model-A sowed the seeds for the popular, global brand Mitsubishi Motors was to become by being the first car to be mass-produced in Japan.

OUR YEARS IN THE DESERT
In 1982, the legendary Pajero four-wheel drive was launched. The ultimate test of its ability was the infamous Paris-Dakar rally. In 1983, Pajero won the triple crown in its first appearance at this punishing race. The wins continued and in 2007 Mitsubishi set a record for 7 victories back to back and their 12th championship.

THE FUTURE OF DRIVING, HERE AND NOW
With our focus firmly on innovation, we launched the Outlander Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) in 2013. Never before had an SUV offered such remarkable efficiency. The fact that it also offered the everyday practicality of a family SUV saw it become the best-selling vehicle of its type in New Zealand.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.

While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
