Yes, we know we're in for a barrage of hate mail from the International Mitsubishi Cordia Zealot League- because every car, no matter how obscure, has a club- but do the rest of you remember the Cordia?

Sure, you remember the name, but can you close your eyes and visualize a Cordia from memory? In fact, the Cordia (and its Tredia cousin) could be purchased in North America for the 1982 through 1990 model years, so you'd think it would have made a deeper impression on all of us.

I found this extremely early-80s example at one of my local self-service wrecking yards. Check out those louvers!
