The last car Mitsubishi built in Australia. Launched in 2005 to replace the Magna, it was a large front-drive sedan with a 3.8-litre V6, developed from the American-market Galant and assembled at Tonsley Park in Adelaide. It was well regarded but arrived as buyers were leaving big sedans, and the factory closed in 2008.
