Tokyo—Mitsubishi Motors Chairman and CEO Osamu Masuko, center, and company President Tetsuro Aikawa, left, bow during a press conference on May 11 while apologizing for falsifying emissions data and announcing that the problem involved more cars than previously announced. Mitsubishi’s stock price has plunged and its reputation has taken a hit since it confessed in April to altering the fuel efficiency data of over 600,000 of its Japanese vehicles. In a potential lifeline to Mitsubishi, Nissan agreed to buy a 34 percent stake in its rival for $2.2 billion.
