They're bringing that model over here, however in the UK it will be badged as a 'Lancer'.

I reckon the Concept-ZT is the Galant's successor.:scholar:

It's clearly not a galant because of the lack of 6-pot engine option....

However, I do really rather like the new lancer. If I move to the states it's on my list of things to seriously consider buying (along with the toyota tacoma :D). If it is similarly priced here to the outgoing model it will be a stonking bargain. If they can land it for £15k with the VAG TDI then they might sell a fair few of them.

The Galant is really a 4-pot car, in it's history. It is really going back to it's roots. It is only the 7G/8G where the V6 came in.

The 9G and the Galant Concept ZT are really a Diamante Successors

The other thing to remember about the new Lancer/Galant Fortis is that it's wheelbase is 2635mm which is the exact same as an 8G.

1989-1995 Magna/Diamante = 2720mm
1995-2003 Magna/Diamante = 2720mm
2003-2007 380 = 2750mm

1988-1993 Galant = 2600mm
1993-1996 Galant = 2635mm
1996-2002 Galant = 2635mm

1991-1994 Lancer = 2500mm
1995-2001 Lancer = 2500/2510mm
2001-2006 Lancer = 2625mm
2007-? Lancer = 2635mm
