Galant:



Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart Concept 
To sit in this Galant is to find yourself in one of three Recaro buckets—including one for a baby in the back—surrounded by a custom interior including coordinated carpeting and leather. For your right hand, there’s a Ralliart shift knob; for you left, a Logitech driving simulator wheel. Your feet? Well, they get Logitech pedals. To be sure that the car doesn’t feel like a driving simulator, Ralliart—Mistubishi’s motorsports arm—has stuffed the same 260-horsepower, 3.6-liter MIVEC high-output V-6 that will power the upcoming 2006 Eclipse. For the Gallant Ralliart, the 3.6 is fitted with a custom cold air intake and Ralliart exhaust. The six twirls the same six-speed manual transmission as will be in the Eclipse. Handling the switchbacks are a rear stabilizer bar, front and rear strut braces, Road Race engineering coilover springs, and 8.5 x 19-inch Racing Hart F10 wheels inside Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3s measuring 245/40R-19. Tucked away behind those rims are a Brembo four-piston brake kit up front and custom cross-drilled rotors in the rear. To make sure the car looks as good as it runs, Ralliart added a custom-integrated rear spoiler, front and rear fascias and side skirts, and topped it off with PIAA driving lamps and a metal mesh grille with Ralliart logo.

Endeavor:



Mitsubishi Endeavor Ralliart Concept 
Mine’s bigger than yours! LCD monitors were so plentiful at SEMA that they might as well have given them away as door prizes. But most every other monitor at the convention center had to bow down and pay homage to the 30-inch behemoth wired to the Sony Playstation 2 in this Endeavor. Rounding out the electronic toys inside are a Pioneer AVIC-80DVD nav system and an Eclipse stereo with speakers installed by SuperAutobacs. The interior takes the same route as the Galant Ralliart concept’s, with Ralliart pedals, a Logitech driving simulator steering wheel, and coordinated carpeting and leather under and around the Recaro front seats. Underhood is the same 260-horsepower V-6 as in the Galant Ralliart, which also lends its modified exhaust system and Road Race Engineering cold air intake. The larger Endeavor leaves more room for meat in the fenders, so Ralliart rustled up some 8.5 x 20-inch Enkei LM1/5Ss and wrapped them in Falcon 275/40R-20 rubber. Road Race Engineering also supplied a coilover suspension, and Ralliart added the Brembo four-piston brake kit up front and custom cross-drilled rotors in the rear from the Galant concept. The similarities continue on the outside, with custom front and rear fascias, side skirts, and metal mesh grille finished with PIAA driving lamps complimenting factory-tinted headlamps.

They really need to spruce up the Lancer, Outlander, and Eclipse. That's where the young buyers who like this stuff are most likely to spend their money, not on the family-friendly Endeavor and Galant.

The new Eclipse comes out in 06, I believe. What's wrong with the Lancer Ralliart? I dunno much about it, except its got a 2.4L  4 banger and a 5 sp manual making 160 HP or so. And it doesnt look that bad.

It looks very plain compared to these concepts.

In my opinion, the Galant still looks like crap. The Endeavor isn't as ugly, but it's not good looking, either.

Kevin, what about the car appeals to you? I'm interested, so I have an idea, maybe, of why they styled it this way.

It doesnt like crap to me. It looks muscularish to me. The styling doesnt make it looks massive so the wheels look tiny like the Accord. Also, it somehow the front reminds me of a hawk, yet its a  subtle thing.

I think it's the headlights that really put me off the styling.

I'm not sure, I can't explain it really.  It does look kind of muscular and the headlights are awkward now that you mention it.  I just like the shape of it, the split grill and how the rear windows square off at the back.  It's real hard to explain, I don't really like it but I think it looks pretty good.  I also like the high hood.
