Cool this is just weird - Mitsubishi AMG ???

Maybe I'm late on this but I was just doing some mindless surfing and I came across this article...SO WEIRD! LOL. Apparently before Benz bought AMG they worked with a few other manufacturers. I thought you would find this interesting.

Absolutely amazing. I guess AMG must have been in serious need of improving their cash flow at the time.

So if you see an old Mitsubishi around with an AMG badge, it might not be posing? Well that's just

why is that crazy? Mitsubishi is respectable car manufacturer, they prove it over and over again with a few of their models (EVO, for example). AMG might be better off with them actually but well...they apparently didn't do lots of improvements on these cars

The AMG 6th Gen Galant (pictured above) was a improved upon Galant GSX, which is AWD and AWS. It actually is QUITE rare and desirable among tuner circles. It had glass headlights, different front and rear bumpers, a "Tuned By AMG" valve cover, and a few other niceties. Had about 30 more HP than the Galant GSX. It was a nice car, I know a few people with them.
