    I've seen plenty.

    As for the Diamante sharing a design with the early Lancer...Mitsubishi was doing something called "Brand Identity". Ironically, Nissan did it with the B16 Sentra's introduction, basing cues off the 04-08 Maxima. Put an 04-05 Max next to a +07 Sentra...and it's obvious, even with the facelifted Maximas of 07-08.

    Truth, but as you have noted, and I'll use oak's example, the 09+Maxima takes cues from the GT-R, the entry-level cars should borrow from the upmarket joints, not the other-way around. While I understand what they were trying to do, IMO they went too far, it didn't translate well on that wide front end.

    Mitsubishi drop the ball one the 9g. It was a mistake. Plain in simple. The 8g looks like a sport car with the right mods. Nissan skyline look. Agressive bitch lol. The 9g is a big box for no reason. 8g all day. Mitsubishi should bring an updated 8g. It will be a killer on the market.

    There's just something about the way the 8G looks...while I've liked these cars before I started tinkering with the g/f's Galant, I've gotten a better appriciation for these cars. And just makes me wonder why Mitsubishi never continued to sell VR4 Galants in the US. The AWD systems on them alone would have made them sell better here.

    I first got my attention set on these cars, oddly enough from the original Gran Turismo game. lol they just looked cool, and were fast. Nothing more satisfying than beating sports cars with a grocery getter. :P

    This. If Mitsu did the lancer with diamante style no prob. But to make your full size sedan that competes with Avalons and Maximas look like the basic entry level is the Prime Defenition of FAIL.

    I gave back my 8G and got a 9G. It was OK. I really only liked the upgraded interior. I would have given it back for my 8G in a second! I would have only gotten the Ralliart if i had to do it over.

    You know if I buy one, it has to be the Ralliart model but I'd make it look badass with 4G parts that are available for 4g owners, wheels that doesn't come off from a swagger car embedded in chrome, interior that doesn't have 4 tv monitors, and a cool exterior mods that doesn't include that bodykit that's floating on Ebay.

    And if I do that, those who say no may, just may, reconsider their previous statement. Or not :)

    The 9g has a really good side profile.

    Throw some 19s on it with coilovers and a nice smooth lip like mines. Paint it white with gunmetal gray wheels and 5 speed swap and im sold. Both the 4g69 and 6g74 has potential N/A.

    the v6 is a 6g75 ... and it needs 20s!
    agree on the side profile. exact same side profile above as on the australian high spec models (VRX and GT)

    20's would absolutely ruin the car. Looks great the way it is IMO.

    Thats what i meant 75! it was a typo! 20s fit good aswell but if im on coilovers ill opt for 19s.

    20's ruin cars. doesnt look sporty on a 9g.. just makes it look stupid. 19's would be biggest. i like the 18's tho.


    9g Baby!

    20's ruin small cars. the 380/9g is a large car. the size of the wheelarches make whatever rim sizeyou choose look an inch smaller all the attached are 20s. cant say none of them look sporty?

    I guessing what most response so far was that the wheel selections were widely influenced from the rap-hip hop culture?
