New Galant

[Guest RB26DETT]

NOTE:

I was browsing http://www.carwalls.com and stumbled upon this.

 

 

 

Okay, so people in the UK might not know about this car. :cheeky:

 

The Mitsubishi Galant is a Japanese Large Saloon/Sedan to compete against the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and the Mazda 6/626 since the 1990's.

 

2004 Gallant

 

Now, here's the new one! It's the Mitsubishi Gallant Fortis Ralliart.

Anyone else think it looks familiar. :cheeky: *cough* EVO X *cough*

 

Seriously though, this is the first time I've seen the Lancer and Galant models look identically alike. I've always known that Galant's are supposed to be luxurious like a Camry, and sporty like an Accord. But this, it's a spoilerless EVO with an Automatic Transmission.

Looks like the new Evo. :D And I like it. :D

okay. after reading a few articles, the gallant fortis is actually the lancer ralliart. it's weird that mitsubishi labeled the car with a different model.

 

Mitsubishi announced the launch of the Galant Fortis RALLIART (aka Lancer Ralliart) 4WD sedan in Japan which started sales yesterday in Japan for a price tag of 2,982,000 YEN. Like the Subaru WRX is to the STi, the Lancer Ralliart is to the EVO X – a low carb version powered by a turbocharged 4B11-type 2.0-liter 16-valve DOHC MIVEC engine good for 177 kW (240 PS) @ 6000 rpm and 343 Nm @ 3000 rpm. It's not as ballistic as the 300hp EVO X but provides a dynamic driving experience for far less the price. Expected to arrive on U.S. shores this September for under $27,000, the sensible Lancer Ralliart is a huge bargain compared to the EVO X's tag of $40,000.

What do you mean the UK hasn't heard of it? I used to love the 2004 model - my mate had one! It still looks brilliant too!

 

As for the new one, indeed it looks good. Weird naming the Evo the Galant though...

[Guest RB26DETT]

randy's never heard of the galant. :p

and he linked me to the mitsubishi site in the uk, and there's isnt a galant in the lineup. :p

[Speedtouch]

^ There isn't a Galant in the line up because they stopped selling it over here.

[Guest RB26DETT]

lol. oh well, for some reason he doesn't know what a galant is.

[hesonly5]

I knew the UK used to have a galant, but you were takling about NEW cars. Of which there isn't one. So there :p

[Guest RB26DETT]

bah! >.<

[Eudemon]

A mates dad owned the VR-4 Estate and that thing was rapid!! Always loved it when he brought that over to take us places rather than the Shogun. Unbelievable performance and sound, and the handling, wow!

[Andreas¹]

I have always loved the look of the Galant, but this new one... Nah >.<

[scaleopdriver]

this looks just like the new Lancer, what were they thinking?

[HavockJoker]

Its just a lancer.

[Fridge Magnet Rabbit]

Its just a lancer.

correction

Its a EVO X without a spoiler and a smaller engine...

[Guest RB26DETT]

additional, it has an automatic tranny. :p

 

dunno bou't the small engine. i know they're all 2.0L

Galants are sweet cars, but i personally don't think any of the newer ones look as awesome as the "1987-1992" Galant VR4's. Those looked seriously aggressive, and had the performance to back up the looks.
