Hmm, maybe its a euro thing, but i hate small cars. I prefer bigger cars and I dont mean gas gussling SUV's and such, but you know, nice sedans (well, good km/per gallon/litre sedans) and such. Lots of features, powerful engine, lots of room etc

The last mods sold in Europe is late 90s, maybe early 2k.
Anyway the newest lancer is getting popular here in Norway because its more or less looks just like an Evo  |
Yea that is right, the last "true" Galant was designed by our design chief in Japan Mr.Nakanishi back in the early 90s. He was also my boss in Germany from 1998-2003.
The US "Galant" is a really strange product. It has been face lifted like 3 or 4 times, and it never looked good in the 1st place.
I think this is the original that was made back in 1996 or so
This is the latest and hopefully LAST! face lift (our studio was not involved in any of these projects)
By the way, the Lancer is called "Galant Fortis" in japan. |

Thanks, Cox it was what I thought ^^
The latest japanese Galant is pretty good looking imo. As its getting older its also getting cheapter too ^^
iv got a 90 mod tho. One of those where it says "Galant" in yellow plastic on the back.

yeah , the one true galant was from the 90s , great car
the evo X is looking alright (way better than the Impreza , which looks like a fucking Lacetti ), but the base model with steelys is horrible , some car just look better with alloys
oh , and EVO X Concept car still looks way better , cooler , awesomer than the final product
