Mitsubishi Galant - Generation 8 (1997-2005)

MITSUBISHI GALANT (1997-2005)

Originally called the "shark" due to its resemblance to the said animal, this generation of Galant would be the last to offer a V6 engine. Numerous line-up changes happen with the Super Saloon being replaced by the GT-A in 2003 and the former's MT option dropped in 2001.
