Sapporo Brings Touch of Mitsu-Malaise To Oregon
The streets of Eugene, Oregon (and PaulN's camera) gave us the '68 Saab 96 few weeks ago, and now PaulN has found us another interesting old Eugenemobile. The Plymouth Sapporo was yet another of Chrysler's attempts to fend off Malaise collapse by slapping its nameplates on various Mitsubishis, but (unlike the Colt) they're just about impossible to find nowadays. Make the jump for an additional gallery and PaulN's description.

Wagon Battle! Subaru Legacy Vs. Mitsubishi Legnum
What would Maximum Wagon Day be without a wagon battle? And nobody does track battles better than Best Motoring. This classic clip showcases two JDM wagons for the Japanese family that's really on-the-go; a Subaru Legacy GT-B and Mitsubishi Legnum VR-4 circa 1996. It's too bad they didn't include a Nissan Stagea, but even these two haulers are entertainment enough. Both have twin-turbos, AWD, a 5spd manual 'box, and more interior room than some Tokyo sleeping pods. Check out all that weight-transfer-induced oversteer on the slalom course, and enjoy the fierce 3-lap wagon battle action on the Tsukuba circuit. More »

Chicago Auto Show: 2009 Mitsubishi Galant, Three Varieties of Boring
In case you were wondering, Mitsubishi did bust out a trio of updated Galants on Thursday, and we were monumentally underwhelmed. The Galant Sport, Galant Sport V6, and the Galant Ralliart all took a bow. The cars are available with a mix and match of the 2.4 L 4 cyl MiVEC, 3.8 L V6, and 3.8L V6 equipped with MiVEC, traction control, and Nav system as well as external indicators of the various performance levels.More »

choose your eternity
It turns out that nearly 60% of readers surveyed prefer a '58 Bel Air to a yellow Corvette when they're contemplating a Tom Waits-themed eternity in Project Car Hell. And, now that Romeo is done bleeding, let's take a look at today's Choose Your Eternity candidates. We have a tough time finding Japanese cars that are both sufficiently cool and hellish enough for this series, but today we've managed to find a couple cars from Nippon that get the job done. They're turbocharged, they're all-wheel-drive, and they've probably had the crap beat out of them by previous owners. Thanks (and a Project Car Hell Tipster T-shirt) to Schnog for the tip!

PCH, Japanese AWD Turbo Edition: Celica All-Trac or Galant VR-4?

We're Going Around Picking Up Our Jaw: SUPER BRUCE POTENTIAL!
Dear Brian Scotto, if you weren't our hero before for owning a Quantum Coupe or being really, really goddamn tall or pulling obscene donuts in Beverly Hills in a Z06, you certainly are now. We mean, really. An AMG Galant? Admittedly, an Affalterbach-massaged, Hammer-hammering Starionamino might likely be the ultimate Jalopnik meme-mobile, but we'll take this lesser bait just the same. Sometimes, near-perfection is just as good as perfection itself. Click over and bask in the DCX-incest glory. More »

Chicago Premiere: Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart
Mitsubishi launched its latest Ralliart tuner model, built on the bones of its restyled 2007 Gallant mid-sized sedan. It's probably the most understated of the Ralliart concepts, looks-wise, and powered by the usual suspect — a MIVEC-tweaked 258-hp 3.8-liter V6 engine. A sport suspension and 18" alloys belie a relatively un-motorsports-like zero-to-60 time in the seven-second range. No surprise, then, that it's no concept. Mitsu will offer the Galant Ralliart alongside the model's three additional trim levels. The Ralliart edition also gets standard perforated leather-trimmed seating surfaces, heated front seats, automatic climate control system, power glass sunroof and aluminum pedals, plus factory-installed Rockford Acoustic Design premium audio system. The older kids will dig it. More »
