A front-drive three-door coupe launched in 1982 alongside the Tredia sedan, slotting between the Mirage and the Galant. The turbocharged version was lively for its day, and some cars had Mitsubishi's twin-lever gearbox, which gave two ranges for each of four gears. Its angular, wedge-shaped styling is pure early 1980s.
