Japan's response to the Chrysler Sebring.

Nigel said...: How is Mitsubishi still around in the states? I rarely ever see their cars out on the road.

However, I heard that '12 will be the last year for both the Galant & Eclipse, so I think they're about to pull an Isuzu and die a slow, painful death.; June 27, 2012 at 1:27 PM

I can't understand why it wasn't updated. A redesign with the style of the Lancer would look great.; June 27, 2012 at 7:40 PM
MattC said...: While not trendsetting, I have driven and rented a Galant several times and found it perfectly competent. I really do not understand all the hate for this car.; June 27, 2012 at 8:42 PM
Maxichamp said...: @MattC: It's basic transportation. It's just a shame that Mitsubishi didn't even try with this car.; June 27, 2012 at 8:46 PM
