death clock set back 2 minutes.

Not sure about the death clock being set back. If anything they got a bit more oxygen to see if they can really run or not. My gut tells me they have a line in the sand to meet certain sales goals or be closed and so a bit more oxygen to see if they can jump start sales and keep them going.

The core models (Outlander, Outlander Sport, and Lancer) are selling with good increases. It's not just oxygen, it is firmer footing. If they last long enough to get a half decent mid-size on the market at a reasonable price, they just might make it.
