That series Galant, especially the Sigma, was a great looking car. I like that it was rear drive, and it was a different car. The Sigma (or Diamante) should not have been cut; those cars were reliable. After driving a Galant for quite a few hours, I would own one without any issues, for it's comfortable and reliable, and it sure looks better than the Camry, which is the best seller.
@carwrtr1 Wrong. THAT series of Galant was FWD. You're thinking of the JDM PREVIOUS generation of Galant and Sigma, which was RWD. The Galant from 85-88, then Galant Sigma from 88-91 has always been FWD. These were actually, the 1st gen to be the beginning of the Galant's change to FWD. Trust me, I had an 88 Galant Sigma... it was FWD... I wish it was RWD, though. lol
@boofdfast I LOVE this car. I've only seen one in my whole life in 2001 in DC area. I have the original Car and Driver article on the 1988 model. It was front wheel drive. It was so Japanese and luxurious. Not the luxury we Americans are used to from Europe, but Japanese luxury. I like that Mitsubishi didn't copy Europeans (like Infiniti and Lexus did).
Where can I find a used one? I looked EVERYWHERE. Impossible. Did you know this car had the first electronic suspension in America?
@carwrtr1 The closest competitor that was rear-wheel drive was the Toyota Cressida (another great car), also the Mazda 929 (pre-1992). All three are traditional Japanese luxury, before they all started copying Mercedes and BMW.
