Talk:Mitsubishi Galant

message: Current "To Do" List:
# Split the articles by generation, not year, because the staggered production dates (e.g. G7 was 1992-96 (Japan), 1994-99 (USA)) make a bit of a mess of a regular timeline.
# Get infoboxes for each generation
# Get photos for each infobox (done this, but can't access the PC where images are stored)
# Improve content (in progress)
Strike through each of these once completed. I've been planning this re-edit forever, and I never seem to make any progress. Anyone wanna help? -- DeLarge 11:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't Wikipedia articles be unbiased , and free of opinions?  How did the comment "Cool car!!" make it into the 1996 section?  Davez621 10:49, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Why the Nissan Altima reference? Aside from its factual inaccuracy - the Altima IS exported to the Middle East - I don't see why it should be mentioned, but not other US-built Japanese competitors (e.g. Accord, Camry, etc). Closet Altima fan being over-enthusiastic?

message: The Mitsubishi Galant SuperSaloon (Super Saloon) is not mentioned in this article.  I think it should be included, but I don't know enough about it to make a proper entry.  In photos it looks similar to the regular Galant, but maybe a bit longer or bigger?.  Some quick Google searches show that it was available in 1989 and 1993, and probably other years as well, in the Asia and Asia-Pacific regions, including New Zealand. --Kaze0010 22:30, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Galant SuperSaloon

message: From Automobile Magazine:
Galant: 190.4 x 72.4 x 57.9 inches, 108.3 inch wheelbase, $20,300-27,000
Corolla: 178.3 x 66.9 x 58.5 inches, 102.4 inch wheelbase, $14,900-17,900
Camry: 189.2 x 70.7 x 58.7 inches, 107.1 inch wheelbase, $18,445-25,800
So clearly, the Corolla's way to small and cheap to be a competitor. Same holds true in European market, but you can look that up for yourself. Regards, DeLarge 17:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Please, stop entering similar cars in the "master" infobox at the top of the page. Cars like the Pontiac G6 do NOT compete with every generation of the Galant since 1969, so to put them there, instead of the appropriate generation infobox, is simply wrong. You might think about that for EVERY article which has a "master" box as well as generational ones... --DeLarge 22:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Similar" field in infobox 

message: The "compact" and "mid size" classes are American. And the only version of the Galant which was classified as mid size was the eighth generation (introduced in 1996 in Japan). All seven previous generations (available in the US until the introduction of the Illinois-built 8G in 1998) were compact cars. Disagree? See the primary source on the matter. --DeLarge 19:33, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Class

message: The material on the 9th generation does not include a good reference.  A source like Consumer Reports or a reputable auto magazine would solve the problem.  The alternatives are the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord -- both are very conceptually similar.  The piece needs a bit of improvement.--Jackkalpakian 19:02, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Why aren't any of the 2 coupe Galant's mentioned anywhere in this description?  For being informative this article is missing a whole other car designed by Mitsubishi.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.95.255.181 (talk) 20:33, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's written right above you. Mitsubishi treats it as a separate car, and so do we. Mitsubishi Galant Lambda and Mitsbishi Galant FTO and Mitsubishi Galant GTO are all mentioned in the article, but have their own pages. --DeLarge (talk) 10:38, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The first-generation Galant and Galant GTO two-door hardtops were Mitsubishi's first pillarless cars but they were not the first in Japan. The honor of offering "the unique stylistic feature of being the first Japanese production passenger car with full side windows and no side pillars" goes to the Toyota Corona 2-door hardtop first shown at the 1965 Tokyo Motor Show and placed on sale in Japan and the United States in calendar year 1966. So I have revised the text here and in the equally erroneous Mitsubishi Galant GTO page.

message: I owned a 1969 model, one before the AII shown in the 1969 photo. The grill badge was a galloping horse with Colt printed underneath. Purchased new in Feb 1970 Papua New Guinea, imported directly from Japan. This model was only available in Japan. Later on, models for other markets had slightly different blinker and stop lights, in colors required by local laws.220.244.88.51 (talk) 11:04, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
