    I like it...it looks more classy..its gonna sell better than the current version I guarantee u..i think the agressive styling of the current galant helped people buy it but it also scared away a lot of potentials...but i still like the 8gs betta

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(atxmob)</div><div class='quotemain'>what idiot at mitsubishi is pushing the damn NOSE idea?!</div>

    A spokesman from Mitsubishi stated during the unveiling of the '03 Galant (the video may still be available at Edmunds.com) that starting with the '03 Galant, this front end will be the NEW corporate symbol and all new Mitsubishi cars will have this feature. I guess they weren't lying but I don't recall the Eclipse looking like this. All the other new cars have this front end (although not as weird looking as the 9G Galant) Evo, Diamante, SUV (whatever it's called).

    Not quite the same engine. The 1994 GS had a DOHC 4G64 2.4l engine.
    This car has a SOHC MIVEC 4G69 2.4l. The MIVEC engine should provide a much flatter torque curve.
    The specs are expected to be 160hp @ 5500rpm and 157ft/lbs torque @ 4000rpm. What worries me is the 9G's base weight: 3351lbs :shock:
    Mitsubishi Sapporo Turbo, the first, the best and the most beautiful car I've ever owned.

    Wow...that's the 4 banger's base weight? If so...we're talking probably a worse power to weight ratio than the current 8g Cali spec 4 cylinders. I sincerely hope that it's the 6 cylinder's weight anyway...if the Altima can be as big as it is and still come in at 3078 pounds for the 4 banger Mitsubishi should be able to. Oh wait...we're talking about the Triple Diamond...I take that back.

    Yeah that's what I saw too. In Super Street and I forget which other magazine the weight was over 4000, then other magazines listed it at around 3100. Sure makes for some serious confusion.

    After seeing the new Galant in person at the NY Auto Show yesterday, I actually like it. The rear is sweet, especially the tails on the GTS model. The only thing I really hate are the big ass headlights.
