The eighth generation of Mitsubishi's Galant sedan reached the American market for the 1999 model year, a couple years behind the domestic market.
In some ways it was a bit of a downgrade from its predecessor. The snout was a little more formal and retro and while the previous model had been touted for having multilink suspension at each corner, a novelty for a front wheel drive passenger bus, this generation reverted to a strut-type front suspension.
While a snarly 195hp SOHC 3.0L V-6 was on the menu, the base engine for the ES trim level was a 2.4L SOHC four-banger rated at 145 SAE net ponies. That's what's under the hood of this slightly rumpled Monarch Green Pearl one, backed by the optional 4-speed automatic.
This photo was taken using a Pentax K20D and 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens in August of 2025.
