I went to the Autoshow, and got brochures for the Mitsubishi line-up. The Eclipse and Lancer got glossy, multi-page brochures. The Galant got a one page placard.
I'm looking over the Galant "brochure" right now. The reason they kept it so short was probably because there wasn't much noteworthy to write about. I mean, when your technical highlights include: 4-speed automatic transmission, cast-iron block engine and SOHC head, I'd keep my brochure short too. In fact, the brochure makes a big deal about Galant's "sporty dark chrome headlight reflectors". Really? Headlights. REALLY?!?! If that was all they could think about writing, a longer brochure would have revealed even more inadequacies.
This Galant wouldn't have been competitive in the late 1990's, so I see little reason for them trying to sell it now in 2010. What happened to the early 1990's Galants? Remember the ones available with the 2.0 liter DOHC 16V intercooled turbo 4-cylinder, AWD, 4WS and sports suspension?
What is even the point of Mitsubishi? I wouldn't be surprised if their entire YEAR's sales didn't even match one MONTH's sales of a Nissan or a Mazda, let alone Honda or Toyota.
