Have you guys seen pictures of the new Galant. Or is this old news.
After seeing these, I decided to purchase my one as I knew it would be an instant classic. I will be hanging onto my one until Mitsubishi see the error in their ways.
see April 2003 (http://autozine.kyul.net/0_News/Latest/Current/News_frame.htm) edition of AutoZine.
"The new Galant is based on a new platform which also gives birth to the Endeavor SUV. At 4836mm long and 1839mm wide, it is a size up from the previous generation. Front suspension is changed from multi-link to MacPherson strut, while the rear remains to be multi-link. Like rivals, it offers a choice of big four-cylinder engine and V6, the former is a 2.4-litre 160hp unit with MIVEC variable valve timing. The V6 is very big - at 3.8 litres actually exceed Nissan’s 3.5 V6 and matches GM’s 3.8 V6. However, it’s a shame that it produces just 230 horsepower and 250 lbft of torque. Also, 4-speed automatic is nothing to be proud of."
