Isn't the 10G going to be out soon?

[galant305]

8g still the best i said it... 8)
ya what what

x2, im agree, in my parents country they still have the 8g model for ten years , since 1997 to 2007, of course they change the front , the taillights 2 times only, and inside they change it too, and its a real jdm , but 8g is the best , :D

[remarque]

I get what you are saying their just keeping the same platform redesigning the current Galant, but its still the same platform. I thought when a car company makes a new generation of car they also change the platform, its justs going to be a redesigned 9G. We may get something like the Aussie's 380.

They kept the 8G for 10 years and redesigned it two times. We may get the 9G for 6 or 7 years with a couple of design changes.

yeah, for ten year, check here in this page , i know is spanish but enter in MF, MX and GALANT , and you gonna see the diferent changes that they did in ten years.

lol my cousin said a friend drives an Aspire and I thought WTF he was talking about....
Is it that difficult for Mitsubishi to just all the Galant platforms as "galant" as opposed to confusing names with the same body? Sure I can understand the Altezza/IS300, CRX/Del Sol, 3.2 Inspire/3.2 TL, Attenza/Mazda6 of this world but Galant/Legnum/Aspire/MX/MS/MF/380/and other not mentioned.... :?

It has been my experience that car-makers use the following terminology when a new vehicle is released:

(Major) Redesign - Interior exterior, engine and transmission updates, and updates to the chassis/platform (same platform used as previous generation)

All New - Completely new design from the ground up (new platform)

Further, it is not uncommon for automakers to use a platform for more than one generation. Even Toyota uses the same platform for two generations in many cases (though modifications may be made).

The PS platform is not a bad platform, it is just too heavy.

That's the headline in a story that ran today at autonews.com (subsciprtion required). See link and scroll down a little...

I don't know what the rest of the story is, but maybe some of the Mitsubishi insiders can shed some more light on this.
I sincerely hope that MMNA and Mitsubishi Japan will not simply rush the next gen Galant to market just for the sake of having something to offer. I would rather wait an additional year and get a better product. It sounds like the dealers feel the same way...

2009 would be the start of the 10g, 99-03, 04-08 that means 09

david i think that's still a 9G.

[remarque]

I read that 10g galant is going to be designed to mimic the 4g eclipse, meaning a more rounder organic shape. I just hope they dont let Olivier Boulay design it, look what he did the 9G Galant and 1G Outlander. Their not ugly cars but neither are they eye catching. I just hope Mitsubishi takes their time.

[gtx]

Please no. They should go to the same direction they did with the new Lancer.

[Mike_Rom]

Please no. They should go to the same direction they did with the new Lancer.

I TOTALLY agree. I'm feeling a little worried if they go for a "rounded" look. I love the look of the new lancers

i LOVE the 9G!!!
i'd buy one today. and rock it out.
as long as its not a base model, the GTS and Ralliart are very eyecatching to me.

but.... Can you tell me any year when a base galant was any kind of pleasing to the eye?

I prefer the chisseled look as well, but they haven't done a galant wrong to date. So i trust em.

[remarque]

They are good looking cars but they can get lost in the crowd. The 9G look like an Altima a bit.

[milo111000]

yup!! it needs to stand out again!!! like the sharks!!

But the Altima is exactly that, and who cares about those things anyways?

[Proud Galant Driver]

Make the Galant smaller? Compact? WTF? I don't like the sound of this...

It looks like AutoWeek posted the story I linked from AutoNews earlier this week.

Apparently the MY 2009 Galant will NOT be a redesign, just a re-skin (i.e. not a true 10G). Further, there seems to be no official time-table yet for the full redesign. My guess is 2010 (2011 model year)

[galant3jl12's]

Wow they really have no idea what they're going to do w/ the galant. The 9g galant is a nice car in and of itself but it doesn't compete w/ the other cars its supposed to like the altima. As an 8g owner I would much rather take a new altima over a 9g even though everyone has an altima. I think they messed up w/ the 9g they took a step backwards. They need to completely reboot for the 10g like what they did w/ the lancer. Make it a flat out better car than it was a definate notch up. You can't even compare an 08 lancer to an 06. I'm talking about DE to DE or ES to ES. It needs to be that way w/ the 10g.
