    what to say about the 9gen design

    not to hate on the 9g handlers but i really think that they could've done a better design than that of the 9thg. they could have stayed with the shark type but made it litle rounder than be just round but no trace of the old galant patern. hope you guys know where i'm coming from cause i really like the galant designs. well if i get alot of time to sketch a desighn then i'll show you what i had in mind. well post your opinion and designs and maybe we can put some sense into mitsubishi for the 10th gen... :idea:

    yea. I don't like the looks from the front but I bought the car for safer reasons and the interior space. the 160hp is more than enough power for my heavy foot.

    And besides, who would steal a 9G

    I have an 8g and have always wondered why the 9th g didn't have that "shark look" into it. I still think its a nice car though, bigger and more room. The front design is alright and the rear sure looks nice.

    Maybe Mitsubishi wanted to target the business/executive class customers here in the US instead of the sporty class. The 8g is also no exception, notice that the USDM 8g front grill and bumper is different from the JDM front grill and bumper. Damn, I get angry at Mitsu whenever I remember that.

    Well, you also have to look on how big the new accords and camrys are.

    That's true. They need to compete with those two cars somehow.

    Funny, I almost bought an accord instead of the 8g back then. I went with the g because there are too many accords and camry's in our area.

    Thats why I will still pick the 9g over the accord and camrys.
    I think Seattle ranks somewhere in the top 10 of cities with most stolen cars.

    yeah

    the camry's and accords are big and great but don't get out of the desighn. cars as well have what they call evolution. let's say the corvette. it's probably change a little over the years and it kept the market cause of the traditional design. well i'm getting too deep with this sh@$! anyway, all i'm trying to say is that it could have been about the same shark look but a bit bigger and perhaps rounder..
